Fred CI figure if the card was trashed to begin with and there was a possible trim repair then I would have only expected to see the card in an AUTH holder, at best. Since the card wasn't repaired it could have gotten an SGC10 except it was trimmed which means the best it could get was an AUTH. I'd have been happy with the AUTH label because of the initial expectation.
The only thing the dealer did that seemed wrong was indicate that he didn't trust SGC and that PSA should have graded it. I think that borders on being criminally stupid. Oh well, just my opinion.
I'd just keep the card and let there be no hard feelings. I'd rather enjoy the card than have it remind me of a negative transaction every time I looked at it.
