Matt,

In the first case...you might get lucky if the seller had a clear scan with the auction. Maybe then you could show a scan of the card to him along with his auction pic. Normally an older card will have enough unique characteristics to tell two apart on close inspection (wear, crease, corners, centering etc), but if his pic is already gone then probably no luck. Also, maybe post a pic of the card here. Perhaps SGC did get it wrong. 4 of 5 were good. Have you had any board members' opinions on the card?

Sorry to hear about your bad experiences and (unfortunately) that is why I have to buy everything graded. I would love to buy some raw, but only when I can do it in person and feel good about what I'm getting.
