But that's a true collector right there. There is something really cool about a card you know is properly graded that ties in the card itself to the hobby and grading standards and all that - even if the card itself may not be particularly high grade. You are the "Von Clausewitz" of collecting, LOL.
At some point I'm either going to trade or sell the card, so there were definitely personal benefits involved in getting them to correct it, most notably that it will save me a lot of future grief going back and forth with someone looking to get the card. Now it is what the label says it is.

On a side note, someone here was trying to trade for it (with the ridiculous, obligatory offer of commons and such) and they slipped up and very much implied that they were looking to flip it (as a 'PD' and ignoring the fact it's a stain) for a nice profit. I politely declined.
