I actually have a "PMG-like 1991-92 Upper Deck (insert player name here)". Since the regular cards are worth about 20 cents...calling it "PMG-Like" means it has to be worth at least $10, right?

To be fair, these are widely considered PMG "like".

Who really cares, his auctions he can write whatever he wants. If you think about it, it's getting him more views and most likely more bidders ...

Keyword spamming violates eBay's policies.

Ummmm???? And who "WIDELY" considers these PMG like? I can't think of anyone. And even if someone does, it doesn't stop the fact that this practice is completely immoral, and against the rules on eBay. If your going to use that type of verbiage, it should be reserved for the descriptions part of the listing.

This keyword spamming is in hopes to get an uneducated buyer to purchase the card base off of the popularity of previous sets (PMG). Its the same thing as someone selling a card that clearly doesn't have Michael Jordan on it but in the title they says "Not Michael Jordan"….ahhh, you think? Or when sellers list a card that says "No Auto" in the title when it is abundantly clear there is no auto on the card. Or better yet when seller list cards as "Exquisite like", so it can be grabbed by all the searches for people trying to buy UD Exqusite cards. The unfortunate thing about this is the time it takes to sort through the junk listings in the search list to actually find the card your looking for.

Who in their right mind would consider any of these to be "PMG like"???

Not sure about that. I certainly wouldn't buy from a seller with such blatant and idiotic keyword spamming. Then again, I have principles...

To be fair to the seller, it should be noted that there at least is some "link" to the original ones ... The 10-11 Certified Parallels were called "PMG's" frequently by Ebay sellers because the background did have that kind of effect - Although these cards don't look like the 10-11 versions, it is basically the same parallel set from the previous year, so saying they're PMG's is not totally out of nowhere

Sorry but that is total garbage , these nor any Panini card produced have been a PMG ever the only PMG's are made by UD simple another ploy by sellers trying to milk more $$$ simple .

No wonder this hobby is a joke , and people wonder after they get hit why there is so many scammers/scums etc.... people bring it on themselves .

It's all about trying to squeeze the lemon for the more $$$ greedy plain and simple.

Yep, I'm aware of that. However to call these ones PMGs is EXTREMELY weak... There are so many pathetic sellers on ebay but to have one with 200+ items with the same keyword spam they really should be shamed.

I'm surprised some of you guys don't remember the frenzy with these cards. They used to be huge! This Derrick Rose below sold for $1k+, NOT when it first came out, but a few months later when people were comparing them to PMG's. At that point in time, the first release of Retro didn't even exist. These "PMG" emeralds were the craze!

I see the link between PMG's and these cards. However, I never called them PMG's. But at the time it was common to see PMG in almost every listing of these cards back then.
