Flaws will be hidden, corners will be worse on the card than in the scan. If you can live with that then leave all the positives you want. But you can't tell me that seller, despite 15k positives, isn't a crook!
But let's not forget that Battlefield isn't even close to 99% successful. While I totally agree with you, the severity of the photo-shopping and over-illuminating the flaws with bright scans is so blatant that they are much lower than a 99% rating. Along with 15K positives (allowing for a lot of "satisfied" buyers overlooking the touched-up flaws), instead of 129, you will have more like 450 negatives.
