Is this card REALLY look like a PSA 8 to everyone? Anyone know if the Craigslist gang had anything to do with this one?
Something about it just doesn't look sharp for an '8'....

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
scans, but appear much nicer in person.
They need to buy a new scanner.
card will probably look better in hand. That's if you want to take the chance.
With ebay the way it is buyers can use sellers as an approval system.

There are a total of five on EBAY and I would think for a card in this price range if it takes spending a few extra hundred bucks to know for certain you are getting a great card I think it is worth it. There are only two 8.5's and the price of those is double so finding a high end 8 seems worth the extra money to me. I don't collect football but clearly this is a major rookie and the better it looks in that holder is obviously really important for resale if you ever choose to. If the card turns out to look like the scan you posted I think you will encounter this same delima for future buyers should you choose to move it and you will have buyers remorse if you spend this kind of money and it turns out looking like the card pictured.
Good luck either way.

Count me in .No problems with Sundiego.
<< <i>I have never purchased from the seller, and will probably stear clear. >>
WHY???????????
He is one of the most reliable dealers out there. Just because of a crappy scanner????????????
The insinuation is that he is dishonest and that is clearly not correct about sundiego.
Had to tell with that card - not a good scan - one can always ask for a better scan?
Don't love the card, don't hate it.
Never want to be called a hatter!

I'm not insinuating the seller is dishonest. The seller has an excellent track record, and there are enough people around here that have had good experiences with him.
What I am saying is that either most of his cards are low end for the grade, or he needs to purchase a new scanner. Both of which prevent me and will prevent me from purchasing cards from him.
I was ripped off by this seller several years ago for about $600.00
Never sent items...claimed they were lost in mail and insurance claim was put in. Well my trust in people got the better than me.
As soon as the time period to file a claim was up...still nothing and wouldn't answer my emails.
Seller is a common crimminal in my eyes.

They ship quickly and have very reasonable
shipping rates. It looks like they have an old scanner
that makes many cards look low end for the grade.
Having crappy scans doesn't equate to dishonesty.
Jay, sorry this happened to you. Question: If the card you bought
from them got lost in the mail and you filed a postal claim, I would
think they (the seller) would've cooperated with you on it. No?
How is the seller at fault if something gets lost in the mail?
Unless they addressed the package incorrectly. Once it
leaves the seller's hands, it's passed on to the middleman
on the transaction, which is usually USPS, UPS, Fed EX., etc...
to do their job and make sure the item arrives to the
correct destination.
Are you saying they didn't help you with the lost package claim?
If that's the case, I'd be hot about it too.
