I would have returned it.

Sent from my HUAWEI-M920 using Sports Cards by Freedom Card Board.com

Would have requested refund. Neutral if granted

bongo870 · Dec 21, 2012

yea. I felt for the price i did get it very cheap. But i guess i was in a good mood to leave a positive.

Looks like pack searcher damage. Flexing it top to bottom.

bongo870 · Dec 21, 2012

i thought that to but the back looks good...

Classic PWE thick card damage. I would have sent it back for a refund, it's too badly creased to look good in a collection. Sucks because that's a really cool looking card.

nicktv08 · Dec 22, 2012

I would have sent that back as well.

If it was damaged in the mail because of the pwe I wouldn't have dinged him item not as described, I would have left him a neutral for shipping in PWE and damaging the card. That's just me though.

But if its a PC Card and you're ok with that damage, then don't sweat it. It's a cool card no doubt.

I think it would be safer to put it between the pages of a hardcover book, then pay a really really fat person to sit on it for a day.

That would work if this weren't a die-cut multi-layer card

But it is, so put the iron on low and put a sheet of wax paper between your card and the iron, and voila, no more creases.

Dilferules · Dec 22, 2012

And you've done this before? Sorry but I've never heard of anybody doing this and it sounds like it has the potential to wreck the card in new and exciting ways.

I'd have sent it back. Pack search damage drives me nuts.

hoopster3977 · Dec 22, 2012

Another reason that PWE's are bad for the hobby. Frickin' idiots can't spend an extra buck for quality shipping. Cheapskates that are very unprofessional.

If you check out the original auction the creases aren't there, this is damage from sending a thick card in a PWE. Well the dinged corner was probably there before it was shipped, it was conveniently not visible in the pictures.
