this just isn't sitting right with me. ebay item

this is the 3rd one of these this seller has sold in the past month or so. i bought the second one and received it. i have never seen these before so i can't compare it to anything. to me the card looks very low in quality in hand.

the seller has used the same picture in all three auctions too. i sent them a question regarding the # on the reverse... we'll see if it's the same as mine.

i know i know, they have perfect feedback.... still feels odd to me.


Champ Bailey Auto Card

anyone have anything to say to put my fears to rest?

    Over 5000 feedback and 100% I would not worry. They are likely using the same image as you noted, which is perhaps a little wrong (I wouldn't do or suggest that0 but I imagine they just had more then 1.

    What do you mean? You think the card is fake? Those cards are made to feel like wood if that is what you mean. I see no point in faking those. If they made 100 of them I would not find it odd for someone to have 3, but if he had 103 then I may worry a little.

    I once pulled three Topps Total Marquise Hill auto's from three boxes. So this weird stuff can happen.
    Running an Ebay store sure takes a lot more time than a person would think!

    yeah, kinda feels like balsa wood. glad to hear it is supposed to be that way. thanks!

    i probably wouldn't have even thought to question it if the seller had simply taken the time to take a different scan of each card. they already emailed me back and the serial number is different than the one i have.

    all these ebay scams have me paranoid i guess...
