I am looking on eBay for a card I need for my collection. The cards with that marking are pricier. Do I get one with & one without to complete my collection? Thanks!

It's a sales gimmick (scam) made by Burbank Sportscards. To move inventory they add a foil stamp to cards. These stamps were NOT applied by the card company and hold no value.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them. |

Wow! That actually makes me NOT want to buy from Burbank at all. Thanks for the info, Chuck!

I've never had an issue with Burbank. Just don't buy special 1-of-1 stuff from them.

Yeah, I looked at one of these the other day for my Olajuwon PC and just went "no".

Oh, that is underhanded. The sad thing is, there will be people that will fall for the scam.

That's like saying, go ahead and buy the pizza from the store front that runs a brothel in the back.

I have/had a big problem with them. They use stock photos. They had an ERR card listed but the photo was COR. I asked if they could provide an image of the ERR card. They said, "No. We don't have the time or manpower to pull cards."
