I
was looking to add a 1994 Bowman’s Best Griffey card to my collection and I
came across a seller offering a four card Mariners set (Griffey, Buhner, Pozo
and Mac Suzuki) for $2.25 plus an additional $2 shipping, he had two sets
available. Here is the actual auction.
The
Griffey card was my main target but I am always happy to add a Buhner card to
my Mariners collection and the price was right. Only the Griffey card was shown
but the listing said all cards were averaged NrMt. I received the cards today
and all four cards are noticeably discolored, something I would not list as
NrMt. Unfortunately chrome, foil and Finest cards are susceptible to damage
like this when they are stored together without penny sleeves for an extended
time due to the coating. When I pulled these cards from the envelope they were
in a penny sleeve together with the Suzuki and Pozo cards stuck together to the
back of the Griffey card.
Here
is the Griffey shown versus the card I received, obviously not the same cards
I
am upset, had it been listed as “Discolored” or “Damaged” I would have either
passed or inquired about the severity of damage. I just emailed the seller to see if
he can replace the cards, I am holding off on posting feedback for now. The guy
has 100% with nearly 15,000 feedback and I don’t want to ding him if he is
willing to replace the cards (at least the Griffey and Buhner cards).
