Opinion needed. PLEASE HELP!!
Ok, I just recently purchased this Pujols a couple days ago on Ebay. The sellers scan of the card showed some dust specs on it but I thought it was part of the scan and the seller mentioned NOTHING about it in the description. When I recieved it today upon closer inspection, there is a bunch of crap inside the actually slab on the front and back. Did BGS simply slab it that way? Would you return the card and get your money back? Should I send it off to be reslabbed and have the seller pay for it? It does bother me. Especially when it's supposed to be a Pristine card. I'm trying not to make a rash decision while I'm upset at the moment. Let me know.....
Here is a high resoultion scan.

Wow, I would be pretty upset. Especially with it graded a BGS 10 .. I would call Beckett and see if they could replace it even though you weren't the original owner. If not - I'd get my money back from seller.

Those specks are part of the card design.

Yeah, if we're seeing the same specs you are talking about, it's part of the card design. I took a copy of a card from the bay (cropped out the serial number) to see if you're talking about the same thing.

Ok cool. If it's originally part of the card then I am cool with that. Not knowing that at first kinda freaked me out a bit. I appreciate the info. Thanks.

It looks nasty, but it's the card design.
