Review of my listings of raw cards help

I know this might look like a spam, but I am sincerely asking for an honest review of my listings of my raw cards. I usually sell graded ones, and that is MUCH easier, but I am starting to sell some raw and I am a little worried that when people get the card, they might feel that I did not describe them enough.

Any help is appreciated.

For example, I did not put my estimated grade in the title or the listings. However, my pictures are pretty revealing (IMO).

Here they are
I'm building a 1968 and a 1970 Topps set. I have lots of 1970s and 1960s to offer in trade.

  • I don't even bother to stop and look at any card that don't have a grade in the title.
    just my 2 cents

    Good advice. I made changes to the ones that did not have any bids.

    I think the scans you have are probably a good representation of the cards you are selling. I would probably have been a bit tougher on your description in regards to centering though. The 66 and 67 Era Leader cards appear to be more than "a little" O/C! imageimage But as I said, the scans should be sufficient. And you do describe some of the cards in pretty good depth(like the 61 Gehrig and 72 Bradshaw!) image

    Appreciate the feedback. My next round I'll try to be more descriptive with the centering.

    What methods are used to measure the centering on cards? I've seen some people mention using a ruler, but have no idea how or what they mean. I've always just eyeballed it.

    A lot of collectors use this when figuring out centering using scans on the computer screen:



    It's called J Ruler

    You add the L/R and/or T/B and then just do the math. It's a free download if you would like to try it!
  • The centering is the one thing you can plainly see in a scan. I wouldn't waste time on that. Buyer can plainly make that call on his own.
