I know that was a mouthful. Here's the deal, as a 60 year old collector, I have trying to finish a 72 Baseball set.
Purchases from the last 4 of 5 sellers on ebay has been a disaster. They dont seem to understand the difference between a frayed or fraying corner, or a soft (rounded) corner versus a dinged/dog eared corner.
Please all you other PSA/BGS buyers and sellers, am I correct in the assumption that fraying does NOT equal dinged, dented, dog eared ?
Sellers who think ex, ex-mt or even NM (raw of course) can include the "bent" corners. I say no. In my set I can handle the fraying, and it still gets a mid grade, but toss in the dinged corners, not so. Please chime in on your opinions. I see nowhere in either of PSA' or BGS graded descriptions that allow this and be able to score at even a 5.....
UNLESS the bent corner is considered a crease. However I usually think of the crease as in the card main body.
Somebody sells me ex-mt or higher lot, and any have bent corners, they go back as NSAD, I have 3 refunds to back this up. This is really beginning to irritate me.
Thanks,
Steve
