Default A&G Dick Perez 1/1

Has anyone else noticed the .99 cent Dick Perez singles getting BINs
hit for anywhere between $35-$50?? They are listing these as 1/1
since it has that on the sketch. I don't imagine those buyers are going
to be too pleased once they figure it out. Most the buyers have feedbacks
in the 1000-2000 range too.

Go figure. I can't sell our chrome sets for $30 and these guys get $50 for a decoy card. Do collectors even read the sell sheet to know what is in the set?

Trying a make an extra $30 in the short term will only cost you future sales. These buyers all know they are not 1/1 but

I totally agree Jeb
I would never post anything like that, at least not intentionally.

In total agreement, that is beyond low. But buyers should educate themselves, because as PT Barnum once said, "There is a sucker born ever minute." He should have finished that statment by saying "And a con man every second."

Thumbs down

this exact thing happened today at the local shop. some guy called the owner saying that he pulled 1/1's oout of each pack. i felt bad having to ruin his day.

it's the same with the short prints. there was a seller listing every base card as an SP. and he very well knew that they weren't all SP's. i won't post a name, but he used to post on the old board and has registered on this one. so if you read this..........
