Part of me wants to give the seller the benefit of the doubt since they have over 1000 feedback...but if you are gunna call it NM when the card clearly has issues...shady

I copied the scan & viewed in in paint shop pro & definitly has been touched up (altered). It's more evident when i changed it to a "negative" image.

Every person has their own understanding of what NM is considered. I just got done messaging a seller about a card they listed as MINT, that had some very clear damage on the back (and they agreed that the damage was there but they insisted that it was still in MINT condition as that is how they got it out of a pack). That was a seller with lots of feedback as well, so I only take feedback with a grain of salt unless there are negatives or neutrals.
The seller might have honestly not noticed the corner (as he may have bought the card from someone else who did the touch-up and he never noticed it). I had this happen to me as I bought a card and never took it out of the case. When I went to resell it a year later I carefully inspected the card (including taking out of the case and noticed that there was a red marker stain in one corner where someone tried to cover up some whitening). If I hadn't taken it out of the case I wouldn't have noticed it as it was very subtle.
I am not saying this seller does or doesn't know about the damage, but the best thing is just to contact them and ask about the corners.
Collecting John Stockton, Karl Malone, Ivan Rodriguez, Gary Carter & UF player rookie year cards.  Plus Jedd Gyorko rookie and prospect cards.
