I just recently bought a Topps Ken Dryden Rookie card #45. I was told it was in great shape, hadn't been out of the plastic for almost 30 years. The seller posted a picture of what I thought was the card I was buying. When I received the card it wasn't the same card at all. In fact, my card that I received had dinged corners, color deteriation, and a slight dark stain on the back of the card. The seller was upset when I left a negative response in their feedback, but I couldn't with a clear conscious leave a positive one. He believed I should of emailed him first to let him know I got it. This person swore that they sent me a mint card as depicted in the picture they had posted. The seller requested that I scan the card and send it to him via email so he could see for himself. I did just that, but I also explained to him that I was willing to keep the card as is, and not make a big deal about it. The card is in good shape, but won't grade very high if I ever choose to have it graded. I was already paying too much for it from the start considering it only has a high value of $50.(Keep in mind, this isn't the O-Pee-Chee version which has a high value of $200.00)

I just happened to notice that this seller is selling another Topps Ken Dryden RC #45 using the same description and picture that was used to sell the card I received, which only confirms that the picture displayed is not the actual card you will get. Asking the seller a lot of questions about this card is advised before actually purchasing it. This seller has a great reputation on ebay, and I'm not knocking it. He has a great feedback score. I was very happy with his communication, his shipping costs, and the quickness of the shipping, but his description failed miserabally. I realize at times that a seller may use a stock photo to sell items (not sure if that's what this seller did) because they may not have a scanner or other sourse to display the actual item, but it should always be noted. As a potential buyer, you should always ask if the picture is of the actual item. (Never assume, like I did!)

Here is the pictures the seller posted of the card

Here are pictures of the card I actually got.
