Does this Maris card look altered?

Thank you everyone for your opinions. I messaged the seller asking if it was wavy in person and if he could take another pic. His response was “it’s a 6, not wavy, good luck.” I think I’ll take everyone’s advice and pass on this one!

What answer could the seller have given that would have made you buy the card?

If he would have acknowledged that the scan indeed looked distorted and not ignored the request for a quick additional photo. If that’s asking too much so be it, I just don’t feel comfortable making the purchase without being able to verify.

Not that anyone was waiting on pins and needles for this question to be answered, but the card arrived today and it's not altered. The "wave" was an optical anomaly as Peter suggested. Sorry to disappoint any PSA-haters.

Glad it worked out for you! It’s definitely a gorgeous card.

Glad to hear :-)

In fact, awfully nice for a "6," although we didn't see the back...

I'm guessing that - "Sure let me get a better (higher resolution, close up corners) scan to you" would have helped considerably. It's like a $250 card. I would have wanted a better response also.

I think it's the scan. I've seen this before. As has been pointed out the holder looks wavy too. It seems rather obvious to me. I would bet the card is fine.
