Greg EcklundI've had experiences similar to Tom's - about half of the raw cards I buy are as described, and most of my problems have come with blank backed cards like Exhibits. I have bought several 1920's Exhibits that were graded by the seller in the EX to VG/EX range that turned out to have either paper loss or writing on the back that was never mentioned. I also bought a 1921 Walter Johnson Exhibit which was described as EX-MT, but ended up having an obvious corner crease that was easily seen when looking at the card but didn't show up on the scan.
After those experiences, I try to take care when buying Exhibits and always ask for a scan of the back if the seller hasn't included one.
