Yes, the description provided by a mentally imbalanced seller who is clearly motivated to trash SGC and provide false info.

My guess is that somewhere along the line the corner of this card got pinched in something.It may appear to have been re-attached,but maybe it's as simple as that-it may have been pinched in something.I'm just guessing,of course.
As far as the card being a little short,it doesn't always mean it's been trimmed,right?From what I've learned,these T206 cards can be slightly shorter or longer than the standard size (1 7/16" X 2 5/8").......... SGC graded it,,,then this seller re-submitted it,and SGC stood behind their original grade after reviewing the card a second time-I would think they would scrutinize the card a little harder the second time around? I think the card is a well deserved SGC 60. Sincerely,Clayton

There are absolutely size variances amongst most cards, t206's being no exception...but I still think the card looks trimmed...just my opinion.

I don't get it
Seller discloses what he believes to be an alteration and there is no focus on the merits of the claim--instead he is called mentally imbalanced. Better I guess if he would just pass the buck and let the next poor schlep deal with the card.
Seller is asking what he paid for the card, and what was one increment more than some other bidder was willing to pay in a prior auction. The card, if unaltered, supports the price. If altered, is does not. If altered, it should be graded "A", or, if the alteration is removed, it might grade 3. Either way, it drops as much as a grand in value. It appears seller was unable to obtain a refund from his auctioneer, and unable to get compensation from SGC. He is unhappy about that. I would be too. So he tries to get his money back, and states his observations about what he perceives to be a flawed card. Is this designed to leverage some relief? Maybe. Is it wrong? No. Frankly, I'm not sure I would not have done the exact same thing. If there is no alteration and seller is wrong on that point, the next buyer will get a decent deal on a great card after full disclosure, and the market is unharmed. If the seller is right and kept his mouth shut, another bad card gets passed along through the hobby like the "Old Maid" in the children's card game. Auctioneer and SGC are apparently willing to stand behind their reputations on the card. Seller apparently is also. Time will tell.

Todd, are you suggesting it is even possible SGC made a mistake, much less made the same mistake twice? Remember where you are posting, my friend. With the possibility that the seller may be right about the alteration unfathomable, the only reasonable conclusion is that he is demented.

Ebay ID "Grays"
If I'm not mistaken, I believe that seller is a regular poster on the forum, "Bottom of the Ninth". Maybe he can shed some light on this whole situation.
