Opinions of what to do

[JamesGallo]

So I recently bought this card as an upgrade. I own a SGC 30 so this was a big jump.

I got the card and in person the top left front corner looks off.

So my options are return the card, leave it as is or have SGC review the card. I had plans to sell the down grade so what do I do with that, and would you hold the down grade in case this comes back altered.

I left the pictures big...

Thanks

Playing around with the contrast. Something looks askew.

Agree-Corner looks added on, if that is possible. I would send back to SGC for a regrade and tell the person who sold the card to you about your concerns, saying you will return it if it turns out to be repaired.

...have you notified the seller of your concerns ? Can he provide a history of the card ? He won't want it back in a different holder with a lower grade.....

After seeing the small crease on the back, could there be some delamination and maybe glued?

Unfortunately a black light won't work with the card in case to see if was repaired

It is generally accepted IMO that dealers won't take returns on graded cards. There is certainly some of the top layer paper missing, but my concern is that the top edge is straight and then bellows up at the corner. It does not look to be mis cut which generally explains this.... I am torn as this is certainly a much better card. Is this is a situation of ignorance is bliss. If I never have it reviewed then I will never know....

The seller has a 14 day return policy according to the listing, and they do not specify in the item description that graded cards are not eligible for a return and refund.

If you have questions about it you aren't going to ever be happy with it. Return it.

I agree that the corner looks a bit off. Could be a stain though. The thing is I doubt SGC would admit their error. I think it's your decision. If you don't like it, return it. If you can live with it, keep it.
