Shame on you! LOL! I should have caught that it was rugby, the player is only holding a ball in his hands and he's not the goalie.

That is truly a disaster, I would be very upset with a card as such. The only way it would be acceptable is that the fact that I pulled it from a pack, yet, even then, it still would be unacceptable in my collection. I'm so anal with my cards. It is so difficult to keep the cards in pristine mint condition. So much can easily go wrong.

The die cut words/names that are jerseys are one of the most challenging aspect in caring for a card, second only to corner and scratch damages. I've noticed that the machine that cuts the die cut can occasionally create such creases although not as bad as your card. I'm glad that the seller has compensated you. What's frustrating is the fact that this could all have been avoided with simple packing procedures.

The next time you accrue another purchase from a seller, if the card has a high enough value is to request a top loader for your card, there is a small fee but well worth it as well as the frustrations and headache these issues cause it as such. Overall, great lot of 264 cards, the Prime Spiller/Easly and the Santonio Holmes Sweet Spot card has to be my all time favorite cards in this lot. Good luck on your next purchase.

Your friend, fellow forum member, and collector,

I wanted to add, the worst damaged card that I pulled, that was in my collection has to be a 2012 Topps Platinum Auto T.Y. Hilton. The auto had Mr. Hilton's finger print clearly pressed into the ink, eventually it bothered me so much that I gave the card to Brett.

I've damaged two cards due to improper handling on my part. A 2012 Upper Deck SP Rookie card that I can't remember whom it was and a 1992 Topps Stadium Club Mark Rypien card. The SP had a small bent corner. It was an extra hence I tossed it into the trash to Brett's dismay. He immediately pulled it out and requested any card that I don't want, he will accept no matter what condition it would be. The Rypien, I bent in half when I pulled it out of my collection. It took me nearly six months before I found a reasonable price to replace my a Rypien card.

I found it on Sports Lots for $0.35, it's book value is somewhere between $0.01 to $0.01 1/2. LOL!
I finally replaced my damaged cards. There is another forum member by the call name of Sanjosefuji. He actually has a album of just damaged cards. I think that's a unique idea. When you have the time, check it out.

I will have to do that Toshi.....I can't stand when people don't package the correctly. Especially when they charge $3-$4 for shipping.

I really loved the way Matt Ryan AKA: Matty Ice performs in his offense. He's done such a great job since his rookie year in 2008. I was extremely disappointed in 2013 at the way the Falcons lack of production occurred, I hope they do better in 2014. Great additions!

Although a Packer fan, I thought Atlanta would be the NFC Champions in 2013 myself. Extremely disappointing season for them.

2013 Topps Chrome Wes Welker Purple 264/499

[hayn]

The uncirculated card always seems like a secret mystery to me. Never touched by human hands. At times, I'd like to open one just for the hell of it. But then again, it wouldn't fall into the uncirculated catergory. I know this as I own two eTopps, the first a Favre, and the second a Unitas.

The Marino Motion Vision card is so 1970's disco era. Yes, I grew up in that era with bell bottom pants and long hair! The Vietnam War ended, the Bee Gees were all the rage, the Watergate Scandle, Jimmy Carter was President, Star Wars made it's debut (The real Star Wars), and Motion Vision was all the rage!

Wes Welker should have never been released/traded to the Broncos. Now Manning has his own special weapon.
