Well I feel after reading the description and then seeing the card had been graded a 2 was a bit disering for me. I get it that the hobby is here for collectors, and people to make money. The fact that the card is described in a way that I personally though would have been worth several hundred more than the price paid and the hammer price it went for. I sent an email to the guy and got no response. The card is not described as faded either but as a rare printers variation with few flaws as a small corner crease and some back staining. This description leads to about a grade 4, maybe a 5 with a good soak for the back tobacco staining. (Wish I had the balls to soak a card but I doubt I ever will.)
I have bought cards and cracked them out but if they go back up for sale they include the flip with them and the reason I busted the card out. Also a disclaimer with a guarentee that the card had not been tampered with by myself after removal.
