It is generally accepted IMO that dealers won't take returns on graded cards. There is certainly some of the top layer paper missing, but my concern is that the top edge is straight and then bellows up at the corner. It does not look to be mis cut which generally explains this.... I am torn as this is certainly a much better card. Is this is a situation of ignorance is bliss. If I never have it reviewed then I will never know....

The seller has a 14 day return policy according to the listing, and they do not specify in the item description that graded cards are not eligible for a return and refund.

If you have questions about it you aren't going to ever be happy with it. Return it.

Collecting is about enjoying your cards. Return it and move on..

To me it just looks like a transfer of some sort. Like the wet sheet transferred lines around the border. Beautiful card regardless. It wouldn't bother me at all, but like the last two guys said, if it's going to bother you, probably best to return it.

It would be hard to rebuild a corner and add the wet sheet transfer as well.

Could it be that the corner has been scuffed to the point that some of the top surface layers of paper were rubbed off?

I'm no expert nor am I familiar with these cards, just throwing out some food for thought or what I see in your scans.

I would be pretty surprised if there was anything going on with that card. Boston Store/Collins-McCarthy cards are very thin cards and have a glossy surface on front. I wonder if there is just some wear or abrasion to the glossy surface that gives the appearance of something more.
