This is the first time I've ever seen a major set up for auction and the seller included pics of every single card!

all 494 of them!

    I admire the seller's dedication. Not too terribly long ago I saw a complete 1972 Topps baseball set for sale on eBay. That seller included very nice scans of all 787 cards.

    Too bad none of the pictures are good enough to see the condition of the cards.

    CD,

    With graded cards ranging from PSA 4 to PSA 8..... It doesn't appear the seller is trying to hide or mis-represent what they have for sale..... image

    It would have been nice if they would have gotten the #150 Mantle graded. I guess it must not be very good.

    Sorry, didn't mean to imply that the seller was trying to hide anything. All I was saying is that if you're going to invest several hours in taking pictures of cards that will sell for several thousand dollars then you might as well buy a scanner and use better, more descriptive pics. It's great that all the cards are pictured, but what's the point if you can't see the condition of the cards (talking more about the raw cards)? I give the seller an A+ for effort but a C- for execution.

    Somebody should email him for scans of the backs as well.

    Tough crowd in this thread!

    I've sold two sets this way. It is obviously labor intensive, but at least I still had the scans when the sales were complete. It is my belief I earned roughly 25% more selling this way vs. scanning the stars and letting it fly.

    1950 Bowman Set

    This guy may not get the $3600 he is asking, but I think he will eventually get $3K+.

    well one bid and he is pretty close to $3600.

    I always do the same and provide high-res scan whenever I sell on ebay. I also take it to the next level and host the pictures with photobucket so ebay's picture services don't defeat the whole process.

    Here's a link to my partial high-grade 1975 Topps Baseball card set:

    1975 Topps near set on ebay with high-res scans of EVERY card

    It really doesn't take too long (just a bunch of copying and pasting after done with the scannning) and if you're selling raw on ebay, it's the only way to go.

    Very cool, Robert! Can you pm me the process, should I ever decide to do that?

    Am I right in figuring that by using hyperlinks, you don't pay more $$$ to ebay for adding extra pictures?

    Hi Nick,

    Sorry, I don't do the pm thing, but here's my email . If you send me an email, I'll forward you the text file that I pasted into ebay for my listing. I received my BE degree awhile ago in Electrical/Computer Engineering and for my senior design project I designed an interactive e-commerce website. I certainly didn't learn anything from my project that I use in my career, but it does come in handy with my ebay listings. Thanks for the kind words and shoot me an email if you want the source code. Cheers!

    Robert
