You May Want To Avoid This Guy

Just a word of warning about the seller mrbob_loblaw. I won a card from him recently and he sent a different one then what was pictured. It was the same grade but as we all know not all PSA 8's or any grade are created equal. So you may want to email him and make sure what he has pictured is the card you will be getting. I find it a little dishonest to do that and excuse it away with "all PSA 8's are the same".
Any thoughts??

I don't have any problems with that so long as they specifically mention that the image is just a sample. I had one idiot post a pic of a card, said was GEM mint with 50/50 centering and what I actually got was actually centered 60/40. In fact, it was a numbered card and serial number didn't match. Of course, the seller is NARU now.

I have a huge problem with sellers sending a different card than what was pictured. As was mentioned earlier, all cards of the same grade are not equal, especially in terms of centering.

Agree with Brian.

Should be stated in description that you may not receive pictured card.

Then, bid accordingly.

Although, I have ACCIDENTLY done this before with multiple copies of the same card in the identical grade.

Have to check PSA # before shipping.

I can see some people acting like an 8 is an 8, but it's so true that all grades aren't created equal.

I have 2 of the same card graded 6, and if sold one using a pic from the other, I would feel very dishonest.

I would want to demand the card that was in the picture, but I'm lazy so I probably wouldn't, depending on the cost of the card.

I don't know but if one is gonna sell cards on ebay, why not take the time to scan each individual card one is planning to sell?

Now if it's a buck card, that would be different.

I believe one should give the most they can with respect to service but let's also consider the source?

Not everyone thinks like me?

This is very dishonest!


I once was on the hunt for a Paul Molitor rookie card that graded PSA 8. I looked at as many PSA 8s as possible, especially the earlier graded ones and ones graded by the infamous grader 314 aka Darth Grader. I was looking for one that could pass as a PSA 9, so I looked for the best card I can find. I eventually bought one from Kruk cards and believe it can grade a 9. I would have been really upset to get the card not on the scan. I bid because of the card, not the holder. A real collector understands this, but a dealer does not want to because it cuts his bottom line.

I would be extremely upset if the card I bid on was not the card I recieve. I upgrade my 1963 Fleer football set every chance I get. Part of the upgrades are examples with the same grade but nicer centering. 99% of them are PSA 8's Why would I want to replace 1 off center 8 with another off center 8?
