Someone is not going to be happy when they get this card.
I never know if the seller is just trying to scam or they truly don't  know what they are talking about?

Maybe a gold?  Was just watching that and was wondering why a silver would sell for under $50.  Now I know.

Might be a gold? But I don't know where he would come up with  the silver part unless it is a base. Base = 6,000 cards

I'm going to start listing all my S4 base cards as "ruby" because there is a lots of red on the cards.
...Or "1/1" because all trading cards, like snowflakes, are unique...

I messaged him yesterday to ask if it was a silver #'d card and got an awesome answer....
Dear brandaloo,

This Card is a replacement from topps for a serial numbered /288..but it is not serial numbered
 

                       
                       
Dear chrisman15,

Hello, I just came across your listing and I have a question.
Is this card just a base card?
Is there a stamped serial number like #/288 on the back?
Is this card thicker than just a regular trading card?
Thank you,
-Brandon

Man, someone is going to be pissed when they realize that they just paid $56 for a base card. The winner has a 2300 feedback so he/she will know that they got ripped off. Anyone know who this is?

I told this guy that it is not cool the way he is trying to make an extra buck. This was his reply.

Dear dirtskin,

"According to the guy I got it from". That says it all for me right there! He knows exactly what he is doing and he is just another piece of sh%t taking advantage of people.

Wow, I just assumed that if someone was trying to sell a "silver" and claimed it was a replacement for a real silver that it would actually be thick! That's bad, not even thick, but it's a "silver", what a....

Here's another one, it's only a GSP S4, but still another deceptive "silver" listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GEORGES-ST-PIERRE-2010-UFC-SILVER-/370540426231?pt=US_UFC_Trading_Cards&hash=item5645ee33f7 - http://www.ebay.com/itm/GEORGES-ST-PIERRE-2010-UFC-SILVER-/370540426231?pt=US_UFC_Trading_Cards&hash=item5645ee33f7
 
And, The seller confirmed that it was not a thick silver, just a base.
 
Update: I let him know whoever bought that card would not be happy and... he said he didn't know and changed the listing...

I think tcbusiness has earned a spot on the bad sellers list, unless he pulls the auction. 
 
Response from tcbusiness on the A. Silva "silver" card:
 
Dear tcbusiness,

Is this card thick and what number out of /288 is this "silver" card?

- whiteivy13
 
Dear whiteivy13,

This is not the thick #ed /288 card. It is the Silver base card. Nowhere in my listing does it say it is numbered to 288 or that it is thick. Check my other listings, the ones that are numbered to /288 say they are. If you have any other questions or concerns, please ask.

Thank you,
-TCBUSINESS


- tcbusiness
 
Dear tcbusiness,

Yea, the problem is your "silver" card is at $28 because people think they are numbered to /288 (A. Silva base cards go for under $10). So obviously people are being mislead by this "silver" statement. There is no such thing as a "silver" base that is not thick, it is just a base card, so I'm not sure why you would include the "silver" unless you were intentionally trying to mislead people for your own gain.

I understand it doesn't say "thick" or "#/288" in your listing, but all this proves is that you know how to play the game and cover your own butt.

Again, why are people bidding $30 + on a card that sells for under $10?
