When buying I just ask the question if the description and or scan are unclear - Are there any creases, paper loss or other flaws?
Many sellers sadly do not describe their cards thoroughly enough.
Enlarged scans typical are ok. If there is a minor surface wrinkle that you have to hold at exactly a 33% angle under florescent light just to even see it should that be disclosed?
