I don't think anyone is excusing the mistake in shipping or saying it does not matter. I think the bottom line is many in this community are too quick to throw around accusations of tampering and threaten negative action when a little patience would be more prudent.
Its fine to discuss these things here and get feedback. But it is also important to remember this is the most widely-used forum for vintage cards and anything negative said here about a seller/dealer has potential consequences for that person's business and reputation. The OP raised sinister accusations of tampering when it was clear this was just a case of minor damage in shipping.
The shipper made a mistake. It was a minor mistake at best that is easily corrected. Give that person a chance to make it right before turning it into a referendum. SGC will reholder that card for $5 with a 2 day turnaround. It's really not that big of a deal.
