That really depends to be honest with you if it were a T215 pirate in a defunct GAI holder the new owner may have no interest in re-holding it as the value will remain the same either way? If it were an incredibly rare card that really did not matter value wise because it was so rare it would not matter and the new buyer may not want to re-holder the card.

In this case it is obvious the buyer was hoping to win a little lottery.

To me these are very different instances.

Since the issue is that the buyer broke the holder and wasn't then able to return the card the same way it was received (and I agree, your point of view has a LOT of validity), I'm really hoping you, or someone, will answer this question:

Suppose the buyer had removed the card for inspection in such a way that the holder was undamaged. He discovers the card is doctored. Would it be OK for him to put the now known doctored card back into the original GAI 7 holder and return to the seller in the identical condition it was received?

If it were possible to remove a card from a holder and then replace it and have there be absolutely zero discernible evidence that the card was ever removed... how would anyone know?

Tree falls in the forest and there’s no one there to hear it fall...did it fall?

Bounty prospector removes 33 Goudey gehrig from gai holder...Gets opinion from PSA who deems it to be authentic and altered...And is able to return to its original holder with no evidence he did it? Did he remove it at all?

So you'd be fine with that?

In a conversation where you have not been shy about voicing very strong opinions, suddenly you become evasive.

Is someone else willing to answer my question above?

If while at work...someone hits my bumper while parking yet leaves no evidence on my car?

How can I be mad?
