I would suggest that you do not buy these unseen - or if you do make sure you can return any that are not up to standard. Also find a seller you can trust. When I started I bought some on Ebay and was very disappointed in that the patten in the blank was not evenly distributed and there were large areas of a single base colour. Or the pattern was on one side of the blank only. I hope you understand what I mean. Now I only buy acrylics in person. On Ebay if the actual blanks being sold are illustrated you should also be OK but a lot of sellers seem to use generic pictures which must save them a lot of time and effort.
