Cards post 1980 should be MrMt-Mt unless explicitly stated. This is not what is to be expected from cards from 1990s.

Cards from the 80's and 90's should be in mint - ex-mint. I have tons of extra in those years. I pull the damaged ones out and put them in a box together. I stand by the fact that if you want mint cards you should be trading mint cards. So as I am redoing my collection and consolidating my doubles and other sports cards I take all the lesser grade oout and eventually give them to a little league place and let the kids go through and take what they want.

Thanks for the warning. Condition was terrible for modern cards indeed. Mark

Better yet, one can also put a small sticker of a car on one of them and call it a 1/1 auto'd card.

Your Right Bruno, we had 2 trades in 2019 that you had a problem with both if them, I apologized and you said that you wouldn't trade with me again, Which I have no problem with. You gave me Neutral feedback (Which you have now changed to Negative)to let everyone know you weren't happy with our trades and I respected that. I would still like to make it up to you one day if possible. But I didn't say that if you gave me bad feedback I would tell everyone your a liar. I respected your feedback.

But our trade had 2 cards, 1 from each trade you were not happy with. 2 out of 58 cards. This gentleman had 27 out of 28 cards that have multiple problems. And that's why I wanted everyone to know. As for booting him off the site, I never once said that. Maybe someone will give him a chance like I was after our trade.

I have 589 completed trades, Many with legends of the site and have always talked with member and got a resultion that both were happy with.

I have 421 feedback from trades and 420 are positive.

I just wanted to warn everyone about this and upload the video to show everyone the shape of the cards.

Can't stay quite anymore when reading this. Perfect example of "the pot calling the kettle names". People need to look at the OP's feedback and do a Ctrl+F for "Negative" to see why he has a negative feedback. Issue was never resolved to my satisfaction; I guess just not sending a damaged card without a replacement or even offering a replacement was solving the problem for this member. Nor was having sent the package well after saying he had was ever explained. After the fiasco we had on this site back at about the same time of my trades with the OP, I don't know why people even trade with him. If anyone should have been banned, he was the one.

I don't believe in karma but what goes around comes around.

On a funny note they are now e-bay damaged 1/1 cards. (Being sarcastic here don't shoot me)

After reading all these comments I don't know whether to put my Racing Champion cards right out of the package up for trade. They are all messed up by the manufacturer when they were put in the plastic holder. Some even are bent all the way across the card. If I wanted I could find something wrong with every card I have bought or traded for on here. Of course I am not a professional grader.I have even opened new packs with cards worse than some of those. I just got a 1991 Score Kellogg Hull and Yzerman both with bad corners. Both supposedly mint off Ebay. Me I am proud to add them to my collection.I don't think you will find anybody trading graded 10 cards on here. As for me I expect anything from 2022 back 2015 to be mint. Just my thoughts.

Well I received my cards from the trade I made with this member, and unforunately the cards were in similar condition to OP's. I'd consider them to be VG/EX at best, which is not something most members here would expect for cards from the 90s. I'm not going to leave negative feedback because he did send the cards and perhaps does not understand the expectations around here, but I won't be making any more trades with this member.

I have a current trade going with this member for cards from the same timeframe so we'll see how the cards are that I receive. He did indicate after accepting the trade that one of the cards he was planning to send was not in good condition so he would replace it with something else from my wantlist. I don't have high hopes after viewing your video.

I would encourage you to leave negative or neutral feedback about the card condition. Doing nothing will not help protect other members from the same issues.
