I bought around $500.00 dollars worth of cards from “dugoutman” and was very unhappy with the result. Out of the 10 or so cards three had real bad wrinkles and some creasing. Also very interestingly enough was my McQuillan card, which came with major chipping on the right side and also a black dot on the left side. The seller did not mention any of the wrinkles or creasing in any of the cards. Even more interesting was that in his scan on the McQuillan the black dot was not visible. If you look at the scan of the card you can see where he airbrushed the card and went out of the line. It’s even off in the color of the border. When I emailed him he treated me like I just started collecting and did not know how to grade cards. He went on to explain and I quote “those are not creases but factory paper surface ridges which qualify as NrMt.Heres even more words of wisdom this to explain the hole in my card.
“The dot on the card, in the "Becketts" Baseball magazine, or "CSA" or"PRO”, makes the grade for how we described the card”. After many emails I just gave up and was tired of hearing excuses. I even asked if he had any more McQuillan’s better or worse I would be happy to pay the difference. I just did not want one with the chipping and black dot. He said he had none and tough luck. I saw your card on ebay last week and laughed and emailed him to ask about the card. No response to date. In short what he calls NrMt or MT is more like EX at best so bid accordingly. I hope this helps sorry to ramble but this stuff just gets me some times.
