Talk about a slippery slope! This is the slope that has been slud down for decades now by card dealers who have the integrity of used car salesmen.
You can set up at a card show, knowingly sell trimmed cards and face absolutely no recourse. I understand your point of view and actually mostly agree - it's on the buyer - but this point of view most certainly promotes bad behavior - and has for decades.
But this is what you get in a business that requires no education, has no licensing, no regulation, and no governing body. Try asking a dealer at a card show for a receipt when you buy a card at a show. The response is hilarious!
I suppose you could sue the dealer, but you'd have to be able to prove that the card you sent in was the same card he sold you.
