Where do we start with this one?

Special

I mean, with registration this poor, shouldn't the card get a "1"? It does in my personal grading book.

Not to even mention the centering.

Or the back, LOL.

This is why-- no matter what their little sticker says-- I use my own eyes and personal judgement to evaluate a card. If some guy in a cubicle thinks that card is "better" than some amazing 4s I've seen, then I simply reject their system. For basic authentication, to know a card is legit and (likely) unaltered, and thereby to buy easier online, the slabbers are great. But the numbers on their stickers are utterly irrelevant to me.

This is just me, and an opinion admittedly worth nothing, but there are "3's" I'll pay "5 money" for without hesitation, and then there's the "5" above for which I wouldn't pay a dollar.
