Its really not hard to scan a card with zero clean up effects. I would recommend everybody scanning cards to not alter the scan settings at all.
The official SGC scan BARELY shows the crease, just checked.

Its hard sometimes, even unedited scans (like regular photos) hide flaws just because of the angle.

They mention the light horizontal crease but omit mention of the heavy vertical one? That's just weird.

They changed the description for the Extra Innings auction:

Quote:
Deemed altered by SGC, the featured 1953 Topps Mickey Mantle card shows mostly lower to mid-grade features, centered adequately with rounded but consistent endpoints and a still stunning central image of the Yankees icon. The card does have several more prominent creases running vertically as well as left to right in the card.
At least the next buyer has a heads-up that the scan is misleading, I guess. I'm just out the $85.28 in sales tax paid, unless Brian planned to refund that separately. I sent a follow-up Tuesday and haven't heard back.

I can accept that they didn't doctor the scan. I asked for a refund because the description disclosed the horizontal crease at the bottom of the card (visible on the scan), but neglected to mention the massive fault line running down the middle of the card through the spot on Mantle's shoulder.

To their credit, Mile High refunded most of the purchase price, but for some reason decided to keep the 6.25% sales tax I paid.

Wait, and they didn't even ban you from bidding in future auctions for return an item that was significantly not as described? WHOA! Madness!!

Depending on the circumstances, Brian isn't going to ban someone for a justifiable problem with a lot.

Don't get cocky, kid!

I'm sure you'll do something to deserve it.
