Front scan only or front and back?

[BiggioDiogu759]

Hey all,

When buying on Ebay or on the Bench or whatever, do you like to see the front AND back of card or just the front?

PLMK

Thanks

I Usually Only want to see the back if there is Low numbering personally.

I also hate paying ebay to host more than one photo, so ifi do want to show the back I will use a program like paint.net to create a single image showing both sides of teh card

I thought up to 12 images were free...

 

[slavlite]

As far as I know 1 image is free but I may be mistaken

I am too lazy to go find out LOL

Thanks for your responce

Anyone esle

free accounts get one photo free....

store accounts get up to 12 free....

as for your original question :

with most card a good scan of the front will suffice but if it's a big ticket item or has damage you want the buyer to be aware of so there's no doubt as to actual condition then a picture of the back can be quite useful....

Neither, I like a little mystery.

Depends on the card..high end stuff....I like to see the back of the card....any stuff around $15.00 or upper...don't need to see......Best regards, David

90ish% of the time, I like to see the back.

Thats for all the feedback

 

[BoomerSooner]

The higher the potential value of that card, the more inclined I was to add an additional photo. Otherwise, one and done.

Hey, I got a mystery card I'll sell ya, no image, no description, $19.95 delivered, PM me for addy, LOL.

 

[BiggioDiogu759]

I have scanned both front and back so far

If a seller has an exceptional feedback profile, and the front looks good, I'll be satisifed with that, and the overall seller description.
Thanks,
Pete

If the #ing is on the back, would you like to see that?

 

[plopowitz]

If we're not talking about a particularly valuable card, then No... I tend to be trusting, and leave myself open to getting screwed..which would happen only ONCE. Perhaps this is a flaw of mine. LOL

Personally I like to the backs on vintage cards to help determine condition.

Thanks for your feedback

Actually you probably should just do a 3D image of each card you sell. Make it interactive so that you can “grab” the image with your pointer and rotate it. Give it a kind of a “Matrix” special effect type of feel.

It would also help if you used smell-o-vision. eBay just added it as an option for $23 (cheap!). I don't buy any high-end cards unless they have smell-o-vision in the auction so I can make sure it doesn't smell like cigarettes or Prince Fielder's jockstrap.
