I don't mean to sound like a hard-ass about the issue and I completely agree that the packaging is inexcusable. I've gotten a few dud packaging efforts in the past and had a few items damaged as a result, so I share your pain. That said, I'm simply not of the view that more than a refund offer should be expected to be offered by the seller, and especially of the view that once you realize a lot is partially bad you either accept it or you hold it pending a definite answer from the seller--what you don't do, ever, is bust it up and start selling it off until you are sure the seller won't take care of you. I've been in Howard's position before and I've never broken the lot until I am sure there will be no resolution.
One question for Howard since it wasn't clear to me on reading the post: Did you try to work out a partial refund or did you and SCP leave it at the point where the full refund had been offered and rejected due to some cards being sold?
