The seller communicated exceptionally well. I also scrutinized the card through the slab. It's definitely real, and I could imagine a grader assigning the given grade (it's not graded mint) to this card.

The seller gave a partial refund to cover the cost of having SGC reholder it and ship it back to me. I'll cover the cost of sending it to SGC.

Could I find out, from SGC, the it had been cracked out? Sure, i guess that's a possibility. However, I tend to believe this seller was not engaging in shady business. And, at this dollar value, I am willing to take the risk.
