That's why scans are great, you don't have to take the word of the grader. Most of us still remember the Wild West of SCD back in the day, when you bought cards based on the arbitrary grade given by the seller, and nothing more.
I still remember when I was 14 or so, I ended up sending back a 58' Mantle listed in VG+ condition, that looked like it had born the brunt of a Black & Decker power sander to the front of the card. I got my money back, but I was pretty gutted. I had spent months saving up the money for that and a 54T Ted Williams that I ended up keeping, but wasn't happy about that one either. In my depression, I probably ended up blowing the money I got back on a bunch of new Rack-Packs at Kay-Bee Toy Store.
