Mike,
I don't get your point. XYZ dealer sells me what he and independent grader agree is a bad card. I ask dealer for refund and he agrees. Are you saying it is now my responsibility to go back to the original grading company? I disagree--I think it is the responsibility of the dealer who sold me the bad card in the first place.

If I were the dealer, I would immediately refund your money. My service to you would be that you would not have to deal with anyone else but me. In the background, I would send the card in for a grade bump and then consign for free (assuming a >$1K card) to Mastro :>)
If I was not your dealer and was speaking to you man to man, I would say, Jim, how in the hell can you speak of cleaning up the hobby for all when you do not help to go after the root cause (grading compnay). In fact, you help facility negligent practices by the grading companies by forcing the onus onto venue holders (dealers, auction houses).
I hope that explains my point better.
