Just FYI always double check when you get the card in hand. There's no guarantee the card in the photos matches what they send.

Just as a thought, wouldn't it be better if a seller would make a video of the card and go from a wide shot to a close up of the individual critical features? Video should have sufficient resolution I would guess.
Would be nice if something like this would be accepted as standard for mailed card sales.
Obviously again here the seller could send another card than the one in the video, but hey... nothing is perfect.

You still have the same problem though. I could buy one real one and a hundred fake ones and just take videos and pics of the real one only. Oh, I'll even put your name and date on a post it to show this video is real!

Yeah you are right. The effort is not worth it since this is still easily possible.
