JoannThe seller is under no obligation to "prove" any profit motive or non-motive to anyone on this board or anywhere else. If he misled the original seller that it was a collection purchase in order to get a lower price, then shame on him. But he has presented a different version of events that suggest that this was not the case, and at this point we may never know.
As to the card, not mentioning the erased mark was clearly not an oversight - certainly not given the other details about condition that are meticulously mentioned. On the other hand, it is graded a 2 and that should cover the presence of the mark.
So this is another version of the debate as to whether there is any obligation to disclose specific condition issues that are reasonably reflected by the grade given.
But "prove" anything to me by selling for purchase price only? Nuh-uh.
