      I know it's absolutely misleading...but if it doesn't specifically state "the coin pictured is the exact coin you will receive" I either stay away or ask the seller for clarification. A lot of good seller's just omit that by accident, but the scammers do it intentionally.

      << <i>Before PCGS has their EXPERT system, CompuGrade tried...and failed. The technology was not good enough to be reproducible. Lane >> It was absolutely reproducible. But it cost PCGS and crackout scammers too much money, since crackouts could not possibly result in an upgrade.

      I say dont compromise at all. There are a lot of scammer out there. I was just looking at a first time seller with a Gretzky OPC PSA 9 rookie that only accepts money orders. Before it closes, I will email Ebay "notifications".

      Jim, he says he will send the card before he gets the payment. Say you will buy it and check out the tracking number and see what will really happens. Make that scammer go through the trouble of shipping something off.

      I do! ACG wasn't mentioned as one of the grading companies! I'll pass... Seriously, each coin has an average value/price of $3,000? So, no reserve and one of those bidders might get it for $159? Scammer or nutcase, IMHO...

      used to do bay-layaways for folks who needed time to pay and it was never a problem.......several years ago. with the current payment system in place and myriad fears of scammers and unpredictable situations, i'd demand every penny of the sale or no deal.

      It does say "stock photo" in the listing. Zero feedback seller could either be a scammer or just hasn't figured it out. I don't know what this card might be worth, but I rarely bid on anything with a stock photo. Joe

      There are too many scammers out there to provide your SSN via telephone. I would ask that they send me a W-9 via USPS to my address on file, just like every other legitimate financial institution does.

      "Also I was searching for Goudey PSA how did this pop up?" ///////////////////////////// Because the scammer KWSd the word "goudey" in his "item specifics." I would NEVER AGAIN buy anything on EBAY from anybody I did not know.
