I once posted a sealed Legend of Zelda on NintendoAge which had provenance and I was absolutely 100% sure was not resealed. Well, I asked for opinions on what the game might grade.. and what do you know.. here come people out of the woodwork to tell me its a reseal. Sent it to VGA, and of course it came back as genuine. I just think people should hesitate before telling someone they just blew their hard earned money on something. Especially when that specific aspect is not asked for, and based on one photograph. It's pretty immature, and I stand by that.

Here is your original post (minus the photos):
"Hey guys, interested to hear which card people would generally prefer as this is something I struggle with myself. We have a PSA 6 and PSA 7.
Here are some various aspects to consider:
PSA 6:
Color strike and black are super rich
A-grade gloss
Card has a fresh from pack look, whites are very white
Off center top to bottom
Very small wrinkle top right corner
Card is overall very sharp
PSA 7:
Better focus/registration
A-grade gloss
colors and black not as rich/contrasty as the 6
decently sharp but not as sharp as the 6 IMO
Nicely centered
back is crisper and has a deeper red color
I'm torn. I love the contrast and color and freshness of the 6, but the centering bothers me more than i thought it would, in hand. *Some of the above observations are harder to see in the pic."

NOWHERE does it say you bought these cards ("blew their hard earned money"), just a vague reference to 'in hand,' and here's (again) what you said:
"Hey guys, interested to hear which card people would generally prefer as this is something I struggle with myself. We have a PSA 6 and PSA 7."
The PSA 7 card
LITERALLY (and I'm not using that word the way a lot of people these days use it, where it means anything but literally) looks trimmed.
LITERALLY. You could fit a slice of bacon next to the card and it still wouldn't hit the barrier (yes, that's obviously sarcasm). Yet, when that's pointed out by someone (just what you asked for, input) you act like he insulted your family, and now you're doubling down on it??? And somehow an old video game is introduced into the scenario??
This thread seemed to be about you asking which card would be 'better' to buy. You even said you were torn. By pointing out how short the PSA 7 is side to side, he was trying to give you very valid information to consider...and now he (and I) are the bad guys??? Holy cow, man!!!
