John I don't even know where to begin with soaking and submitting to be graded but I actually appreciate the comedy as the news is good thus far !

That sucks Josh. I'd first contact him directly, and tell him what happened. Be respectful and assertive and tell him you'd like a partial refund for getting the card re-holdered from SGC.

I had the same thing happen once (but my crack was worse), and I was given a $13 refund that covered the cost of sending the card back to SGC, insuring it, and paying for the re-holder.

If the seller doesn't respond in the right way, then you can open up a case with ebay. But, it's always nice to give the seller a chance to take care of you without involving ebay first.

This is the pre-written message after a few pints. Let me know if it's too mean or not:


"Hello, I received not only the Dubuc but a Jimmy Sheckard as both my father and I live in the same house. I'd have to mention that I'm by no means an expert but I'm not a rookie at collecting either. The package arrived in a standard envelope with no card board protecting either card. My Dubuc has a slight chip on the top left hand corner that is not visible in the picture you presented in your listing. I also noticed lots of frosty marks on the edges. Typically this means that a case was opened and possibly a fake card was inserted. However I came to the consensus given your feed back and numerous opinions from reputable collectors I know that the card was not tampered with and was just a result of a poor shipping package. I'd like to ask for a partial refund of my father's shipping that was charged in addition to $8 which is the price of a new case from SGC so that I can have a presentable looking card. If you care to see pictures of the card I will have no problem emailing to you."

I'd get rid of the part about tampering. That clearly didn't happen in this case. Just explain that it is standard practice to package graded cards securely, and that did not happen in this instance, resulting in damage to the case.

I kept it in anyway Luke this is the second time I received a damaged case in two weeks. And my son's mother thoroughly has made big mistakes with his well being this week. I know wrong person to take it out on but I feel like it's not an insult with what I said. Just not in a good mood overall.

Don't quote me on this but I believe that card was for sale not too long ago on the BST. Could be a fellow member.

I suspected the possibility of that but don't really care. I'm a little pissed off. And I feel as though I'm in the right to be and what I said was "POLITICALLY CORRECT". The only time I have a filter is on the internet, go figure.
