Clever scanning tactic! lol

I just about jumped out of my skin, when I saw this BIN. I was just about to click "Buy it Now" without even reading the description.

Good job scanning to the seller....he'll eventually get someone with that scan.

For a guy with 100% feedback with a score close to 3,000, I can't imagine why he's trying to get a negative on a $20 card. At "best" he fools someone who pays, gets the card, and is upset. Don't see the point.

Ok what did I miss, some scanners make those look likes Golds, so is that what your are refering to.
Because he does have a refractor listed twice and does not mention Gold?
I'll look again

beckham in the description wtf? and the scan...psh

yanksfan4eva · Dec 26, 2008

plus the item desc looks to be for collier ref, but refers to gordon beckham, even the information right above the item description states white sox.

so i guess the winner gets a zach beckham yellow gold refractor for 20

I don't know anything about this issue. Will you expound upon the fraudulence?

Seller turned his scanner, inadvertently or on purpose, to show more yellow, making the card look like a gold refractor.

Looks to me that he may have used some kind of saved temple and did not make the adjustments
I see nothing wrong other then it is listed as the wrong team (WhiteSox)

But he does have Philles in the Title and he names the card you will get! So what is wrong here?

I don't think it was intentional, all of his auctions have a yellow backround.

Mine Scans like that almost every time. I have to adjust it to make it look right!

Perhaps I am way off, but.........

It simply looks like he put a piece of yellow/orange paper behind the scan to alter the refracting nature of the card to resemble something other than a normal refractor, yes?

If so, do we all agree it's pretty lame to do?

Is there any other possible and plausable explaination??

As far as I know, a colored template not physicly behind the card would not have this effect, no?

Guest · Dec 26, 2008

Bad Seller, very bad seller for doing this. I need to run home and tell someone about this.
MOMMA! MOMMAAAAAAAAAAA :lol: :lol:

Mizzourah · Dec 26, 2008

I'm not complaining about it or calling the seller out, I was just amazed at how much it looked like a gold with the yellow paper.

I see no problem with it myself, but at first glance it does look like a gold.

Yeah I thought the same thing until I looked at it again and so the little bit of sliver on the top row of the picture.

One can adjust their scanner to show high amounts of any of the three primary colors...yay yellow.

Ofcourse they can my good man.

However, this is done via software and has no effect on the card being scanned.

If it said gold refractor on there with #ed /50 then I could see why you would call it a scam. But it doesn't and if you don't read the auction print then it's your own fault.

I do not believe anyone was calling it a scam, just poor judgment letting a scan like that represent your card. Deceptivly or otherwise.
