There are a lot of ebay listings with pictures of rack packs or other items on the floor.

I have not bought an item that I would have otherwise bought due the picture showing the item on the floor.

Does this bug anyone else?

    My favorite is a "lot" of cards displayed as pile. I suppose this is to show the wild abundance of what they are offering but it really just says "these are ungradable" and AVOID.

    The ones I hate are when a bare foot is visible in the picture. But I have a foot phobia. I am in fact repulsed by the human foot. Anybody else have any confessions they'd like to make?

    Just a question...Why does it matter if the rack is in the floor?

    That doesn't bother me much. What does bother me is not picking a color background to give contrast to the card border color. And yes, fanning the cards out on the floor like a deck of cards is useless.

    I will never buy an item when the pic is taken next to a half eaten pizza with a bottle of beer clearly visible with only backwash in it while the family dog is in the background doing the "dog mambo" on the stuffed animal....dont know what kind of germs that Mantle RC would have, even at the great price
    IT IS ALWAYS CHEAPER TO NOT SELL ON EBAY

    When I see an item on the floor I think of bare feet walking on that floor.

    i might reconsider purchasing a game used baseball mitt if the description meant that a pheasant crapped in it.
