Attention: Please grade your cards properly
Attention: Please grade your cards properly
It seems there is an epidemic of traders on here who do not know or care how to grade their cards.
I have had about five trades where the cards arrived seriously damaged. One of them was damaged in shipping because the cards were poorly protected.
The rest were just in sub-standard condition and the traders never bothered to specify that they were less than mint or less than near mint. Some traders said their cards were near mint but the cards had dings, creases, color marks and other significant problems that made them less than near mint.
In my last trade, I specifically questioned the trader if his cards were mint as advertised. He said they were. They arrived this week and were in horrible condition.
This experience has made my weary of trading, especially with cards from the 70's and 80's, which are more prone to being in sub-par condition.
Please take the time to accurately grade your cards. I don't want to send your cards back and you don't want to send back mine.
Condition is important.
Thank you.
