Message:: [QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 970055, member: 7957"]IMHO, descriptions are meaningless or nearly so.  Most every seller on eBay lies.  OK, they just push the grade, but that push can make a huge difference.  People just do not trust written descriptions on eBay.  That listing you reference has a whole picture of the 1930's page.  What do I care how the 39-, 40-D, etc. looks like.  He says that he has an 11-S.  That coin is probably worth more than the entire 30's page (less the 31-S shown separately).  That is the type of coin(s) you need pictures of.  All I need to know about your 1934 - 1940 coins is that they are there - unless you have something special.  41 - 58, I am not even sure I need to know they are there unless they are red.  Again, that listing you reference has 7 pictures.  6 show a coin folder or pages of it.  I would show i of the book and 6 pictures of coins.  2, 4, or 8 coins per picture depending on their value and the coins NOT spaced so I can see lots of pretty background.  I am buying the coins, not the folder or whatever you use for background.  An interesting fact about your referenced listing (and many others) - his picture of the 31-S is 10% coin and 90% folder.  WHY do I want to post a picture that is 90% folder?  (Measure it.  It is really 90% folder.) These are my opinions.  Take them for what you paid for them.[/QUOTE]
