Charlie offered me the card at a reasonable price, raw, but also stated that If I didn't want it, there would be no hard feelings and he would get the card graded and then sell it himself.
I obviously took the deal. The front presents beautifully, it remains in my collection to this day as Charlie sold it to me. He didn't have to be that transparent, he didn't have to outline an entire scenario. Hell he was willing to meet closer to me here in NY to hand me the card in person.
There's plenty of goodness in this hobby. I'm sorry about the bad experience but in most cases, people are honest and upstanding. It just doesn't get spoken of enough.
