Don�t know why everyone is kissing your ass, you obviously had a shitty slab and didn�t represent it accurately.

Scratched slabs are rather normal and are mostly accepted by the hobby as common from normal handling.

This isn't some weird "old hobbyist" view or something like that.

Slabs travel, cross hands, etc. In the early days of grading there weren't even soft-sleeve protectors.

A $5-$8 bottle of various scratch/polish solutions can refresh many dozens of slabs. Whether you think that should be something you should do or not, there is a rather easy and cost effective remedy on the buyer's end.

Just crazy, the case is there to protect the card! I have had buyers give me back cards for issues with the case at shows and on eBay. This is only a recent trend, years back we did not have this issue. Now I have had to spend money on more plastic to protect the case, so we have happy buyers.

To me it's about the card. I've been known to bust a nice card out of a crappy holder if I was later unhappy with scratches, or other damage.

People sure as shit don�t want to be surprised by them because someone doesn�t know how to image their item or describe them.

So how about everyone do the bare minimum of showing/describing the condition of what you�re selling and don�t act like an entitled baby when you get kickback for not doing so?
