I can understand selling a graded card "as is", if only for the fact that a third party has taken a look at the card and given some verifying opinion. There's less guess work, and less potential that the description and photos don't always match. On the flipside, why not take the return? If they're not happy, you're assured to at least get the same card back, in the same condition. It just removes a lot of the usual problems with private mail order dealings.

Istil don't trust any of the grading companies though. Best to still use your eye. There's a certain bit of "as is" on a slabbed card anyway, since you can't smell, or touch the cardboard...and the plastic gets in the way.
