Strange Birth Card

In the picture they didn't physically scratch out the date and put a new one. Its just a photo with the date crossed out done on the computer.

OK, I see what you're saying. Good eyes! So why do you suppose someone did that? Seems kind of strange to me.
 
I would imagine it is an anti-copying tactic. The ebay posting originated on the date he's added on the computer. By doing that, it will be much more difficult for a thief to use those photos as their own in the future.

Hmmmmm, never thought of that! Clever, and very effective, I'd imagine. Thanks for enlightening me! :thumbup: :)
 
It sure won't help it sell. I would look at the card and quickly back out unless it was at a great price.
I never would have taken the time to notice it matched the posting date.

Looking at it in a less tired and less... inebriated state, I'm not sure that it does correspond to the posting date. Perhaps an original posting, but this would have to be a reposted item. Either way, it does looks like an anti-copying technique. Before bidding, though, it would certainly be something I'd want to clear up with the seller first.
 
Yeah, I agree it is a clever idea, but the seller may have outsmarted himself as, at first glance, it gives the feel of scam. Some buyers would take a glance and move on.
