Default Did they just pick up the description from another auction?

According to this seller NM stands for noticeably mangled and I think that's a very accurate grade,you cant get on him for that!


Time for a short story that just reminded me of. A guy bought some 1969 Cubs commons of me a while back and I described them in my listing as overall GOOD condition with some VG. When the auction ended much higher(I figured it would go for $5 it was about $15) than I thought so I threw in a low grade Ron Santo card as well without telling him. When he got the cards he wrote me back saying none of the cards were in good shape,some had creases,all had corner wear,one had a pen mark on the back and he specifically pointed out what was wrong with the Santo card. I ended up taking the cards back because he couldn't understand what the grade GOOD meant
