Not hard to add a transparent watermark. Any image editor allows you to do this, and you should be using one anyways to correct the exposure on your photos.

Lazy sellers don't stop at stealing your photos. They copy entire listings too, causing confusion for buyers and even eating into your sales (YOUR listing could end up sseming like it's fraud instead of the other guy's).

Got my two in today. I got my three sons with me that are binging on Mandalorian. We'll do one box and see how we do. I WILL reserve the right to buyback any card for $200

Everyone sharing their breaks has convinced me to open my box.

Thanks for sharing all the cool hits. I will post mine sometime this weekend. I am frustrated by Topps often, but this was a good idea and really nice execution on their part. Kudos to them.

Is Onyx 1/1? Have any of those surfaced yet?

Ugh, 2 aqua for my parallels. Bummer. Iconic scenes at least but nothing portrait like.

Haven't seen one yet.

Math on the stated pack odds implies they are 1/1, yes. The purple /10 is 1:96 packs, onyx is 1:941 packs i.e. 10x harder to pull (with some minor rounding error in there, clearly).

Unfortunately the only way to stop is watermarking, which is arguably more of a PITA. Some people are too lazy to try on their own or just don’t have access to a camera with that good of quality.



Dang, I feel like you got lucky they stopped after a message. I know some people can be real pricks about it in my experience.
Watermarking for any reason, including to show ownership is prohibited by eBay

First I’ve heard. Why is that? All the key distributors do it on their listings

Of course ebay would let that slide for key distributors aka cash cows. As to why, they are probably monetizing listing data and don't want any identifying info in the photos.

Anyway a custom printed backdrop or break mat would also deter picture thieves.
