Does the card look equal to or better than the photos provided by the seller?

That's an interesting question. When the card was at auction back in July, the pictures were terrible, but I noticed the damage on the top edge. I asked for more pictures, and they sent close ups of the damage that made it look severe. When it failed authentication due to the damage not being disclosed, I thought it must be very noticeable. Then I was shocked when it came back a PSA 7 when it was re-listed. But this time, I didn't want it to get away. A little edge damage wasn't going to deter me from a card that has only surfaced twice since 1998. When I finally got it in hand, I see why it got a 7. It's not nearly as bad as it looked. From the right angle, it looks bad because the card is so shiny. But as you can see in my picture, it's not that noticeable most of the time. I was worried I would buy the card of my dreams and be disappointed every time I look at it. But thankfully, it's not that bad, and I love it!
