Also I don't buy graded. I've never dealt in it, and I don't want to start. I'm strictly a raw person (I enjoy putting the cards into pages in my notebook and in my set).
I've had people, especially here, ask for my email, but I'm reluctant to give it out. I don't know what the other person is going to do with it. That's another question I have. Why does everyone go through email? I don't understand why people can't just post the IMG link from Imgur, Photobucket, whatever, to a PM or the thread.
So sometimes I've bought without actually seeing scans and just going off what the seller/other trader tells me as far as condition, creases, etc. But that's only here and just a couple of times. I actually haven't been burned, knock on wood, when that's happened. It's only when I've seen photos.

Email is just so much easier. Why would you be worried about someone getting your email?
Just for fun and easily the 5th time, why would you throw out creased cards? It makes zero sense. You could easily sell/trade them on here. Just list them at a real price and not NrMint price with a supposed discount.
