Before I graded some of these, I wanted to find out why this got an 8. The only flaw was this line. I used these photos in my listing:



I think it's fine if you give the condition of the card in the description. However, a lot of sellers do not provide the condition in the description. Stating "near mint or better" or "nm-mt or better" is not the same as stating the condition of the card.

Therefore a buyer may feel cheated when receiving a card with a dented corner described "near mint or better". Seller did nothing wrong...buyer didn't heed the warning. But buyer is still disappointed.
