Since it isn't perfectly centered, I'd doubt you'd keep it. Great technicality on the unseen wrinkles though.
You grossly overpaid for a psa 1, which it clearly is and was.

LOL

If I had won this card and once in hand saw the scan and description were that misleading it would concern me about anything else I might want. Not suggesting the house was trying to deceive anyone but if I cannot rely on their photos or descriptions, then what is the point of bidding with them again? Begs the question why he would even think to do more business with them.

And it is common courtesy to take your gripes to the company and give them a chance to resolve the issue before prematurely smearing them in a thread yet I see it done constantly here.

To what extent is it common courtesy to provide insights that might help the full board to be aware of potential similar issues?

I suppose we can debate whether the name of the AH needs to be identified, but certainly it’s been eye-opening to me to see the difference between the card as originally advertised and as delivered.

The truth should always be told. Whether it's disclosing the truth of a cards condition, how it has been altered/modified/cleansed/worked on or what an auction house did. It is not wrong to state the truth, regardless of who or what agenda that helps or hurts or smears.

Fact: If the image of the card clearly showed the creases and wrinkles in the original auction, this thread wouldn't exist. The end!

Yeah, but what's the fun in that. This thread is over 180 posts! But totally agree with that assessment.
