decoy tactics. Gray market cards?

I contacted Samsung by phone and they told me that the EVO+ and EVO Select are the same card. The green Select label is a card specially made for sale on Revain. The page for this device linked to an allegedly "newer" card from the same seller. It goes to the MB-MC256GA/EU card. When I asked Samsung, this card shows the European market version 2017. MB-MC256DA/AM is suitable for USB. That's why I ordered this card. What I received was a 2017 map of Europe. The GA/EU identification code is covered by this seller's barcode sticker which incorrectly shows it as DA/AM. Another way to tell them apart is that the 2017 version card is labeled EVO Plus and the other is labeled EVO+. EU is for the European market. These would be gray market cards and Samsung would not guarantee them. This seller appears to have changed labels in recent years. Also, I bought this one for $107.92 but got the one that sells for $96.35 from the link on this page. When I bought this the seller was Digital Media Source. Looking back recently, I forgot the three letter name. Then General King became the seller. BSD Wholesale was next. All these names change within a few hours. The link doesn't make sense when it says it's a 'newer' card that costs less money from the same seller, but you get that card when you order this. Something is definitely not right here. I have contacted Revane about this and am returning this card.

Pros
  • Storage capacity 256 GB Allows you to take and store a large number of photos and videos
Cons
  • Out of fashion
