Judge Dred (Fred)This is a good reason why it would be foolish to buy a card "sight unseen". Grading companies (as we are all aware) are not exactly "faultless" or perfect or even consistent... let me stop before I get started.
No, I wouldn't buy a card sight unseen unless:
- I knew the person selling it
- A complete description of the card was provided
- The card could be returned if I wasn't satisfied
That is one thing I do like about Seth's auctions - you get HUGE scans to look at. It would have been interesting to see at what price this card would have sold if it had an opening bid of $10. I'd pay $10 for it... I'm not sure how much further I would have gone but a low amount could have enticed me. It could be a great filler card or trade bait for a later deal.
