Ron LambertA few years back I bought an SGC92 Bob Griese Rookie that had what looked to be a small finger nail indentation in the left border.
The card had just been submitted by the seller at the Fort Washington show and I bought the card from him via Ebay.
When it arrived, I immediately noticed this indentation and pointed out to the seller that it wasn't visible in the scan and I wanted to return the card.
Of course the seller wanted nothing to do with that and told me to take it up with SGC. I called Sean Skeffington and he verified that the card had been slabbed at the Fort show and could only speculate that either they missed the flaw or perhaps damaged the card while slabbing it onsite at Fort Washington.
SGC lowered the grade of the card to something that was appropriate and I was compensated the difference between my purchase price and the new "market value" for the card.
