    Thanks Rick, for your PM. Wish it would have been in the initial listing, but whatever...

    Oh, my, God, Burgundy, look at that card.
    It is so sharp.
    It looks like one of those registry guys' cards;
    But, you know, who understands those registry guys? Pfft.
    They only buy them, because,
    it looks like a total 9, 'kay?
    I mean, that scan, is just so big.
    I can't believe it's just so square, it's like, out there,
    I mean, - HUGE, quickly, bye!
    It's just so BIG!

    I like big scans and I cannot lie,
    You other brothers can't deny,
    That when a card shows up with an itty bitty pic
    And a small scan in your face
    You get ticked, wanna pull back your bid
    Cause you notice that crease was hid
    Deep in the hat he's wearing
    I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
    Oh baby, I wanna still buy you
    Just add to my pile
    Leadoff he tried to warn me
    But that scan you got makes me so H$rny
    ooh, rump-o-smooth cards
    You say you wanna get my bids?
    Well, show me, show me
    Cause you aint that average dealer
    Big scans look handsome,
    To h#ll with just front scans
    Card's short, I bet
    Still cooler than a vintage Vette
    I'm tired of magazines
    Sayin' auctions are the thing
    Take the average card guy, tell him that
    Cards gotta have scans of back
    So fellas - (YEAH!), Fellas! (YEAH!)
    Do your cards have the scans (H#LL YEAH!)
    Then let's see em (SEE EM!), See em (SEE EM!)
    Show that baseball card!
    Card's got Back!

    I like em square, and big
    And when I'm online to dig,
    I just can't help myself, I'm actin' like an animal
    NOW HERE'S MY SCANDAL!
    I wanna get you won
    And ugh, double bid, ugh, double bid
    I ain't buyin cards for joy
    Cause VG crap is for the boys
    I want em real thick and high grade
    Those other bidders are in trouble
    Cause Corvette's biddin' double
    Hopin this ain't no bubble
    So I'm lookin' at bids that are low
    With crappy scans that barely show
    You can have those so-so's
    No back scan it's a no go
    A word to the big powersellers, I wanna get bid-din'
    I won't retract or neg ya
    But I gotta be straight when I say I want BACK SCANS
    Of the card I want
    Ricky's got it goin' on
    A lot of simps won't like this song
    Cause them dudes like to scan just the front
    And I'd wont be biddin' today
    Cause I'm gone, they're wrong
    I was down to get the biddin' on
    So sellers (YEAH!) Sellers (YEAH!)
    If you want me as one of your fellers,
    Then flip it over, turn it down
    This thread has everyone wound
    SCANS OF BACK!

    SCANS OF BACK
    Yeah, man.......when it comes to Ebay, front scans ain't got nothin to do with my selection
    Front pic only? Ha ha, only if it's $2.50

    So that Mantle, it's so gonna, sell cheaper than a used Honda,
    But that guy's got a scan of the back of his Honda
    My checkbook don't want none
    Unless you got a back scan son
    You can show side pics or close ups
    But please just scan the back
    Some brothers wanna play some hardball
    And tell you that the back is gold
    So they just don't wanna scan it
    And I take my bid and leave it
    Say a wrinkle's on the back
    Well I ain't down with that
    Cause your grade goes low and I'm getting sickened
    And I'm thinkin' bout bit#hin!
    To the pretty cards with the big front scans
    You ain't it, I'm afraid!
    Give me a lister, with a back scan mister!
    Creases, rips & tears are missed, sure
    Some knucklehead tried to list
    Bad cards they thought I'd miss,
    Had no game but he chose to sell em
    And I scroll on by to get around him
    So buyers if the scans are down
    And you want to stop those frowns
    Dial 1-900-BURGUNDY
    And kick those nasty thoughts
    SCANS OF BACK!

    Scans of the front but not the back......
    Scans of the front but not the back......
    Scans of the front but not the back......

    jackass response, Sir-Mix-A-Tom

    making light of a legitimate concern/complaint of what should be a standard practice for a high-volume seller is a douche move. From my point of view as a buyer of lower-end cards (who the hell buys Brett Butler cards on purpose, anyway?), I would think any higher-end card would ALWAYS include a back scan. To not do so leaves money on the table. Regardless of how much Rick did in a quarter or how many employees he has, it should be expected by his consignees that he realize the maximum value for the cards they're entrusting him with. That includes a high-quality back scan. Period.

    I'm still stunned by the amount of free spam Rick gets on this particular board. I guess I'm the only one that shakes his head at that.

    If that was the actual response from Rick that thunderdan got to his request for a scan of the back of a card of this value, I think Rick could have handled that a lot better at that point.

    But you board members who grovel at the feet of these consigners

    Pretty uncalled for comment.

    Mr. Probstein does $1,000,000 in quarterly sales, gets rave reviews on his business from many members here, and is willing to join this message board - I think his business model and customer service are pretty exceptional.

    Rick Probstein sold a ton of 1950s cards for me, and I was amazed at some of the prices. He definitely has a following. I list a lot of cards myself, but I do not believe I could have got the prices that he did. Also, his customer service is A+++.

    Always looking for Mantle cards such as Stahl Meyer, 1954 Dan Dee, 1959 Bazooka, 1960 Post, 1952 Star Cal Decal, 1952 Tip Top Bread Labels, 1953-54 Briggs Meat, and other Topps, Bowman, and oddball Mantles.

    as someone that has been buying from him for years, its' a fact that the hammer now falls at higher prices then they used to

    Do either of them offer a "bump service"? If so, I would be interested in learning more.

    If I was to consign cards would hedge towards PWCC because I think he has more knowledge. I see Rick
    making silly errors in his listings...for example he is now running a T206 set break. All the southern league
    players are a premium, in his titles only the ones with the Old Mill backs he states as rare and the Pied backs
    no mention of it. And in reality the southern league cards with the OM backs are the common back. Also in
    the 52 Topps set he will mention the color of the back of the card for 81 and above when they are all the same.
    Only 1-80 do you need to notate the back color.

    But both produce outstanding results and I am sure their CS is top notch. So in essence you really can not
    go wrong with either one.
