Well Daniel, I would think the buyer's responsibility is to acquaint the seller with the existence of those preferences, so that the seller can choose whether the accomodation of these preferences is worth the effort to provide a description of the card's inadequacies, or a clear scan.

Maybe I am wrong in my assessment. It could be that almost everyone thinks that the criteria of the grading companies and their application, is just fine.

But gee, some think that holes, stains, centering, paper loss, creases, etc. are different, and some are more distasteful than others. Telling me "it is a 4" and presenting a scan which does not provide adequate detail, and a no return possibility policy, will result in no bid from me.

I simply want to buy what I like. I crack them all out anyway.
