Good luck on the set, some of those cards tend to get expensive
I agree, should have been listed that there was paper loss but I assume they thought if they just listed it as poor, then they would be covered?

Their reviews reflect this questionable shadiness imo, and if I was smarter at the time, I would have seen that and walked away.

Thanks

I don't think it would be worth it to return the card even if you lived in America. From Canada it would probably be cost prohibitive.
I agree.

Obviously, my opinion but it's not as hard of an $11/$32 lesson as it could have been.
I agree also, could have been much worse than what it is. I like the looks of the front. It is decently centered and not in too bad of condition overall so it will fit in nicely with my collection.

$32.00 dollar lesson learned, and no more cards purchased from this "Mom and Pop" operation for me!

Thanks guys.
