In some auction listings, Pristine Auction may use stock images to represent an item when multiple nearly identical items are available for sale.
Why Are Stock Images Used?
Stock images are typically used when:
- Multiple items were signed during the same signing session
- Items are substantially identical in appearance
- Signature placement, color, and item style are consistent across inventory
This commonly occurs during private athlete signing events where many identical items are autographed at the same time.
Example of Stock Image Usage
For example, multiple jerseys signed during a single athlete signing session may feature:
- The same jersey style and color
- Similar autograph placement
- Matching inscriptions or signature styles
In these situations, one representative image may be used to display the item type being offered.
How to Identify a Stock Image Listing
Listings utilizing stock images will include a disclaimer near the bottom of the auction page indicating that stock images are being used.
Customers are encouraged to review the full auction description prior to placing a bid.
What You Will Receive
When stock images are used, the winning bidder will receive an item that is substantially similar in:
- Quality
- Style
- Signature type
- Authentication
- Overall presentation
Minor variations may exist between individual items, including:
- Exact autograph placement
- Signature size or flow
- Natural material variations
- Serial numbering (when applicable)
Important Notes
- Stock images are only used for items considered substantially identical.
- Authentication and item descriptions listed in the auction remain applicable to the item received.
- Images are intended to provide an accurate representation of the product being offered.
