Picked this up recently, noticing the discoloration in the lower right corner and deciding to purchase anyway. When the card arrived, I saw that there are also hairline cracks in the holder very near the discoloration, almost like a compression fracture in glass. Running my finger across the cracks I can't feel them at all. I doubt it occurred in shipping, as the card was protected very well. 1) Could the card have gotten a PSA 7 with the discoloration? 2) Relatedly, do you think the discoloration occurred after the card was holdered as a result of the cracks? 3) Given that a refund is available (me being responsible for shipping costs), would you do it?
Bear in mind that I got it substantially below VCP Average and the spot on the hat is a scan defect, not a card defect. Thoughts?
