Does this ebay photo look touched-up(back bottom rt)

I was stunned at first it looked so good. I then noticed the rich black around the card and started to think that it was touch-up. As it looks that is one great looking Aaron. I would hate to win that and have an ugly one show up at the door.

    I just sent the seller an email asking for the real scan of the card. If you look at the back scan on the bottom right you can see the black run over on the green. what a joke

    I believe the black color is just a dark backdrop so you can see the card better.

  • Nice looking seven if it's legit.

    There is nothing wrong with the card. If you will look more closely the card is tilted slightly in the holder. The black is just the backdrop. There is nothing running on the card.

    And?? I think your eyes are playing tricks on you.
  • I'll take a look at the scan as soon as I can find my sunglasses...

  • It's an optical illusion
  • mealewormmealeworm Posts: 1,271 ✭✭✭
    I cant beleive you cant tell that is'nt altered. IT is 100% altered... save the back scan and open it with some other means and make it larger. It is touched up...

  • Then don't bid on it.

    Lets think about this. The border color is white and green. Why would it be touched-up with black? Its just the backdrop color and the corner cut-out on the holder
  • mealewormmealeworm Posts: 1,271 ✭✭✭
    I WONT BUY IT. THE SCAN IS ALTERED.

    mealeworm, We are not just trying to give you a hard time. I agree with wintersfan that its just an illusion. The way the card is sitting in the holder coupled with the black backdrop and the corner notch makes it look funny. As my last post says why would the seller photo-shop black on a green and white card? It doesnt make sense. The card is fine. If you feel uncomfortable with it I am sure another will come along.
  • It's called a p*ss-poor scan

    Okay someone needs to calm down. I dont recall anyone swearing at you so I dont think you need to start acting like a 15 year old. I tried to explain myself nicely before, so now all I have to say is quit crying about this card and look for another one.

    Ok lets start over. I am pissed because I would love to bid on the card, and after seeing the back scan up close I will not bid. It was a dream 7 when I found it on ebay. Now I am just pissed. It is another seller trying to get some extra coin by making their cards out to be more than they are. It might even look good without the added black to enhance the border. But to late now.

    Not to throw gas on this fire....but does it look like the holder has been cracked or is it just me?
  • mealewormmealeworm Posts: 1,271 ✭✭✭
    I read post all day long about auctions not having o/c in the title. I have yet to read any negative comments to the one posting until now. What is the deal??? I know i am not a regular, but I am only trying to help others out.
    As far as the card. I will not buy it and only hope noone else gets a less card than they once thought. I am not saying the card is fake , but the scan has been altered. Maybe the card doesnt mean that much to you if you are buying the holder. I figure at that price it should.

    On a side note I use a black back drop for all my registry pics and they dont ever look like that. And it still is frightning that a few of you cant see the sloppy black touch up on the back bottom right of the card.

    mealeworm,
    good post - good call. Clearly you spotted something that didn't click and you shared it with us.
    This is a big board; it's also Sunday evening and the drinks are probably flowing. Don't take it personal.
    I appreciated your post. When it comes to people with short fuses, who do you think has the problem?
    Thanks.

    mealeworm...you are trying waaaaay too hard....that card is fine, there is ZERO touching up...it is the holder and an illusion as everyone else said. I think you just have a 2 day hangover from St. Patricks day or need glasses.

    I was just looking at the auction again. The seller takes paypal, 100% + feedback, has a refund policy and even says "Clean reverse with barely noticeable chipping to the green edges." This guy seems honest to me. If he was running a "scam" I dont think he would offer refunds or tell you the cards problems as he does. I suppose if you want the card use your credit card through paypal and you will be covered. That said, I still dont understand why you would think that someone would use black to cover something up on the green surface of a card. It doesnt add up.

    I have looked at this scan, there is no doctoring going on that I can see. I am no expert. It appear to me that the card was place over a black background and then scanned. I just do not see what was touched up? The back of the card is green and you can see the corners without a problem. IMO.

    Let me get this straight. You can't link YET you KNOW this card is doctored? OK......................I see no evidence of that.

    Good for you.
