I didn't make purchases from individual collectors, I made them from a dealer. The majority of responses are written from what people think a dealer would do, or what they would do in one-on-one private collector transactions. I would not deal with individual collectors the same way or even a dealer I trusted, or at least one that had the ability to communicate, unlike this one. Moreover the easy answer keeps getting posted based on knee-jerk reactions like "+1" over and over again. Enough is enough.
In response to the other guy above who was going on sanctimoniously about how wrong I am (when, to wit, I wasn't trying to get cards to be graded HIGHER than what was advertised, just AT what was advertised), the business motivation here that I don't understand is: To make as much money as possible on what amounts to overgraded material from the customers they feel like selling to who, incidentally, don't challenge them on their grading, with zero communication other than robo-feedback, with minimal hassle and constant solicitation of positive eBay feedback.
As a final point, I have never made a return to a private collector UNLESS IT WAS A COUNTERFEIT. Trollling (or overly didactic) responses only serve to worsten the sting because they (the dealer) blocked me so I am the only one who loses here. I was wrong in this situation but only got truly annoyed when no communication happened from the supposedly eminently justified dealer.
Finally, consider the source of the previous accusatory comments: "Look for our show listings in the Net 54 Calendar section." I regret asking about this topic in the first place due to the Jolly Elms of this thread but as I said in the "OP", I understood which way this was going to go from the outset and I said several times I got the answer from the community. Further personal attacks just show that the respondent is either illiterate or can't follow what I just said.
