I would leave her a negative. That was totally uncool and showed a
tremendous lack of class and professionalism.

hello all:
A couple weeks back, I purchased a lobby card on eBay. The
description of the card said, "CONDITION: The card is not numbered.
There is pencil on Walter’s face and faint writing behind his head.
There is one worm hole in the center of the upper border and light
soiling on the surface. Condition is Good-Very Good."
I usually do not bid on cards that have writing. However, her
description said, "faint writing behind his head" and I looked at
the enlarged photo and, quite frankly, didn't see any writing and
thought it must be as described ('faint'). The link below shows the
enlarged photograph which was in her description on eBay.

When I returned last Sunday from another wonderful weekend at
Cinevent, the card had arrived in the mail. I was totally shocked
when opened the package and saw the card. The writing behind Walter
Pidgeon's face, was not faint by any means and the writing said
"f*ck you", written in pencil or pen. Link below shows extreme close-
up of this portion of the card she sent me.

I know that if I or just about any other dealer on this list was
posting this lobby card online, the description would not say 'faint
writing behind his head'. It would definitely be more descriptive
and say exactly what was written there and certainly the listing
would not indicate that it was 'faint' or hard to see.
I wrote to the seller immediately via the eBay contact option last
Sunday. As of ten minutes ago Saturday 10AM EST, she has not
responded to me.
While I don't like to give negative feedback ratings, I am leaning
heavily toward it in this case because she posted a photo in an
enlarged view which did not accurately show the writing which was
easily visible and (2) she totally ignored my email after I received
the card.
Due to privacy issues, I do not wish to publicy post a link to the
eBay listing or publish the seller's eBay ID. If anyone would like
to see the actual listing, please write me privately.
I would, however, very much like to her your opinion and thoughts
about this transaction.
Thanks!
Best,
Alan Herskowitz
