Default Sell the card, not the slab/grade

We all say to buy the card, not the slab…

Yet the vast majority of sellers (auction houses, eBay, even BST) don’t even bother to describe the condition of the card that is for sale. We’re expected to guess the condition based on a 2 dimensional picture on a screen?

Auction houses are the worst as they’ll write 2 paragraphs on Ty Cobb’s statistics yet fail to mention there’s a tough to see (on screen) crease right through his eyeballs! Ugh!

I want to know every defect of the 100 something year old piece of paper
