K, am I losing my mind?
Right now, on ebay I have a Dustin Ackley card for sale. I was saving this for a later post and it's still happening but anyways, I have the card and I'm trying to sell it.
I have it up with a $15 BIN. Based off the other sales of cards numbered to twice mine and being the only one on ebay I thought I might be able to get lucky. It's been up for a little over a week now and I wanted to see how it may compare to any other current listings, if there are any, to see if I should lower my price etc etc. Then I came across this...
This is my auction, with the familiar (to all of you) backdrop in all my card picks.
This, is someone elses auction.
Am I crazy or is that my picture... on both auctions!?
The first thing that caught my attention was that it had the same weird reflection towards the top middle of the card. It's not a scratch, just a reflection that looks like a white vertical line. Then I noticed the reflection on the left. And the breaks in the reflections of the refractor rainbow line on the right. The only difference is that it's been cropped tighter to hide that silky blue backdrop, which I can still see at the bottom!!!
Seriously, am I crazy or did that guy jack my picture?
I wanna be a dick and ask him how he managed to take such a beautiful photo.

Back when I sold some Adobe Acrobat CDs on eBay, and I used Adobe's pictures, they yanked my auctions because I guess Adobe had complained about copyright. If you feel strongly, you could probably have eBay yank that person's auction.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely your card. Go get 'em.
ReplyDeleteHey Joe I found a really cool Piazza dual relic that will be on its way to you soon.
ReplyDeleteNow that Windows includes that Snipping tool, it's easier than ever for people to grab any graphic/screenshot they would ever need. It isn't right but I don't think Ebay backs up copyrighted images anymore. I could be wrong though.
ReplyDeleteI'm not gonna go running to ebay or anything (besides their auction ended) but it's just kindda scummy.
