Do You Risk It And Buy From The Idiot Seller?

There are many formats in which to "appropriately" or "best" title an auction [for a card] in which to maximize the number of hits/views. But most of them have some format similar to the following:

1. Year, e.g. 1952
2. Set, e.g. Topps
3. Player Name, e.g. Mickey Mantle
4. Grading Company, PSA
5. Grade, e.g. 10

and if space permits

6. Card No., e.g. # 311
7. Descriptive Grade, e.g. GEM MT

That said, I'm sure we all come across an auction for "Mickey Mantle Rookie Card" or GRADED BRETT FAVRE RC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. And you think to yourself that this might be a good opportunity to get a good deal on a card. But there's always that lingering question of whether you should be buying a card from a guy who doesn't even know how to "appropriately" or "best" list a card aka, the idiot seller.

  • I think the PGA grading service should be enough to scare most people away.

    I don't know about their service, but I absolutely love their holders.

    W.C. Fields once said, "You can't cheat an honest man. He has to have larceny in his heart in the first place."
    Is it a "good" deal?
