DJI wouldn't classify this as a scam. Scams are those sellers who sell reproductions as authentic. Scammers don't mention that a "trimmed" card was rejected by a grading company. Scams are issues that don't exist but he cut up a newspaper and gave it a funky, invented designation. Scams are graded cards in basement made grading companies that slab anything high. Scams are people erasing the "S" off a Snodgrass. Scams are people simply reproducing cards on high tech copiers. Scams send out cards that differ from the advertised card. Scams are those who try and sell what they don't own. I could go on...
Is this guy being dishonest? Maybe a little but as many has mentioned above, buy the card, not the stupid holder. Who is to say that the winner of this Mantle sends it in and gets a 7 or 8 next time? I once saw a "6" turn into a "7" in a month.
