I don't know about cracked from shipping,but I did send a few T206 cards to SGC for grading,and when I got them back,there were cracks around the outer bottom right hand corner.I am sure if I contacted SGC they would take care of it.It looks like it happened when slabbing the card.I don't know if this is the case here,but it made me wonder if the seller "assumes" it happened from being shipped.
