MY QUESTION - Scan doesnt really show the front edges and corners very well. Is th bottom right corner dinged....it looks like it might be but i cant see the whole thing.


SELLER RESPONSE - Near mint. Cards this thick are extremely hard to pull out gem mint. May have a ding corner.



And why couldnt he just say yes it is dinged or no it is not? Instead he says it "may" have a dinged corner. Is it that hard to look? So basically i bet it does. Some people on ebay drive me crazy!!!!:mad:

Back of the card has white showing on all corners.... I would assume the front is the same way.

Typical ebay answer from the ebay guy which sucks.

I hate when the picture is cropped or whatever its called. I always scan mine in toploaders and only crop it to the edge of the topload so they can see all the edges

Were you able to zoom in the whole way? (Sometimes ebay's zoom feature doesn't load properly)

Looking at the bottom of the front, there is clearly some damage. Forget pondering the corner that could either be bad reflection or a ding. Look at the right side at the bottom. Just to the left of the silver, there is some kind of indentation, perhaps from a fingernail while pinching the card to pick it up or felt up during a pack search? The edge also show a little wear if you follow along the bottom of the card to the left of that indentation.

High res scans like this are great, but he should have left a little area on each of the four sides instead of cropping it so close to and even down to the card itself.

Yea the zoom feature wouldnt let me see the bottom right corner but from what i could see it did seem a bit dinged which is why i msged him to check. I would never want to mis lead a buyer when they ask me about condition because then they are just going to send it back and leave neg.
