If you read the Mastro thesis on each card (which can be quite entertaining in itself) they will tell you there is whatever damage and "irrespective" of this (or whatever other disclosure word they use) the card is in xx condition. You just gotta read the descriptions closely. As long as everything is openly disclosed I can make my own assessments on technical grades. I know that in earlier collecting days condition wasn't as important to most. This ain't earlier days though......So in summation I don't really have an issue with them doing this. Heck most dealers sell 1-2 grades higher than the card anyway....later
