There is a reason it was graded a 4 and that's usually a crease. Anyway, Joe wanted to trade back and that other member sent me a message asking what he should do. I told him to blow him off, but he felt bad and actually ended up unwinding the deal. Kind of funny Joe wanted to trade back then when he wasn't happy, but wouldn't trade back with you when you were unhappy.

Well, he eventually agreed to send me a card to replace the lost value.
The 1968 Topps Mantle Game Card PSA 8 is about a $90 card while a PSA 8 MC is around $30. He knew I was a Clemente fan so he sent a beat up 1969 Topps Clemente PSA 4 (about a $10 card) to make up for the difference. When I trade I try not to get caught up on $ value, but I felt a little insulted. I told him this card didn't come close to making up for anything, but old77 joepa (god bless) was convinced this card had a $80 book value or something. I told him to send everything back and he told me I was scamming him.
It was all too bizarre, so I gave up. God bless.
