Krukcards Using Stock a Photo for an Unopened rack???

Saw the following listing on Ebay from Krukcards for a 1976 Topps Rack:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/140619382943?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Then found several others expiring at different times with the exact same photo. I send an inquiry and Steve
said he is using a stock photo on all of them.
Am I alone in think that this is not a good idea? Don't most unopened buyers want to see exactly what they are buying?

I saw those listed. You are absolutely correct. Unless they reply to my email with the exact pack I will win, I'll pass. They will not get close to what they would normally expect to get otherwise. This tells me one or two things, either they are lazy putting the pictures put or there are issues with the packs. I guarantee on an item like this, they will get more requests for pictures then the time it would have taken to put on the actual picture of the rack to be sold. Even if it is someone who is ripping the rack open, they still would want to know the condition of the cards showing, centering, machine notches, etc. As an unopened pack collector, I also look to see if it has a price sticker on it, if the header has been hung, and if there are any splits in the rack.
