Total was about $35.00. Scans suggest all are in good shape - like Ex+ even though he has most listed as VG. Curious - in one assortment of VG+ samples of one card, all looked fine except one which had a nasty crease about a inch long in one of the corners. So, it pays to look and not just snap one up because it's in the grouping of the condition you're looking for.

Ok - my shipment came today.
I have to say I'm very satisfied. Of the 10 cards which he graded VG-EX, I would say each would have been graded at least EX+ and a couple ExMT by other dealers I do business with (and will keep doing business with, to be clear). Sharp edges, light corner touches, some centering issues.
The one he graded VG was a Matty Alou which physically is as good as the rest, but the purple printing of PIRATES is slightly off from the black letter borders. Still, not so much that I won't use the card in my set.
So, I'll be going back for more.
