Simple Poll: PSA 5 w/ Crease -- Disclose?

[T206Collector]

What responsibility do sellers have to disclose when a card that achieves a grade that is obviously an over-grade because of a crease or paper loss? Does your answer change if the seller is an auction house, dealer or private collector?

Disclose; it's the right thing to do.

Don't disclose so you can get full value for those who collect the slab and not the card. But be prepared to graciously accept returns for those who care.

My motto of "no surprises"...always disclose....as I did today in a small transaction with a board member. Now when he gets his card he won't have the "OH SH**" factor Nothing changes with the person, venue or company selling it. Always disclose...

If someone consigns a group of a dozen or so PSA 5 T206 cards to B&L, how well do you examine them to make sure they're accurately graded?

This is admittedly a tough question. If I ran an auction house, I don't know how much time or energy I would put into this endeavor.

Always disclose. The grading system is inherently flawed, and it's not enough to simply call it a "5", "6", "7" or whatever, with no further description rendered.

I'm amazed at how many sellers do this, and would never re-purchase from one of them after being burned in this manner.
