Brian,
I understand what you're saying, but it wasn't a negative comment and I wasn't trying to interfere in the seller's listing.
It was a serious offer to buy based on the condition of the card. What's wrong with that? My only point was that there is no way that is a NM+ card and just because BVG says it is, doesn't make it so.
Here is a '62 Topps Musial in NM condition (supposedly half a grade lower than the Aaron). I think anybody would agree that the Musial is nicer than the Aaron. I can show you other examples of NM '62s that look just like the Musial.
Don't get me wrong, the Aaron is a nice card and I would love to have it in my collection and my offer still stands to buy it at an Ex/Mt price - the true condition that I believe the Aaron to be. And I agree with Chris's comments that it could just be the scan. If so, the seller should re-scan it to show it's true beauty. If that is the case, I would certainly pay a NM+ price, but my original offer to buy was based on the scan shown above.
