If you recieve cards in poor condition after asking are these all dinged up are the really yellowed or are they snow white...I have these already but am looking to upgrade becauase a few have some minor dings on corners?  The response was yup snow white... then they come white but really beat up and not from the PWE but before being placed in the envelope.  To top it off they were from the "Junk" era...

I feel like the response they are snow white was accurate but also deceptive considering the first part of my inquiry.  

I am putting this individual on my No Trade list but probably won't say anything in regards to reviewing them for fear of  negative reciprocation.

Some traders just don't care.

Fortunately a rarity on this site.

What does "snow white" mean. 

I just had this mental picture of a blank front card, surrounded by 7 A&G minis.

I am truly disturbed.

It means the coloring particularly white spaces are still bright white not yellowed with age, or poor storage.

Most collectors expect cards that are 20 years to current to be NM or as close as possible to NM. Cards from the Overproduction years of the mid-80s to mid-90s are now 20-30 years old and most of the time are still in better conditions than Pre-1980 cards. The cards in question from the OP (Original Poster) were from that "junk wax" era and were expected to still be in decent shape, thus all the questions. Only one of which was answered and although technically true was a little deceptive. 

That is a funny mental image.

I laughed out loud.. lol 

I was going to appreciate Vrooomed's great comment, but I see that's been addressed. 

As for the original post, that's sad. I do wonder what the point of feedback is if  people won't post negative feedback for fear of recriminations. That's one of my issues with eBay, too.

As for the negative feedback - you gotta leave it. I know as far as I go, on ebay, I read the negatives. I see what they say, and I I see if it's a recurring theme. I also see what feedback level the leaver is (so many sub 50s leave negative - usually ignorable). On here, if I see a negative, I go look at that user's profile. Feedback is timestamped. If there is a negative from Person A for Person B that had left a negative for Person A before it, then I can deduce that it was retalitory - and even more so when the feedback has nothing specific about the actual transaction (there was a user here who did that).
