The pages were counted and complete. The pq on the detached cf was perfect as you can see from the picture. If we can't trust dealers with tables with 6 figure inventory to stand by their books then what's the point? This whole hobby, especially for GA and SA is built on trust. I get that you think this is somehow my fault but why are you deflecting blame from the seller?

Absolutely, and thank you for your help. Can never hurt to be more educated and I now am. Here is the photo for discussion. The page quality looked very good to me: https://imgur.com/a/zxtmxqu I also don't want to take away from the point that overwhelmingly the boards agree that the seller should take a return or offer a refund for this book as he sold something that was not what he said it was. I appreciate everyone's input on all matters

Sent you a PM on this. Thank you for your help

These are great tips, thank you.

Sorry to hear it ☹️

Correct. This has soured me, as there are clearly sellers that will not stand by their books post-sale and others that will blame the victim

Detached centerfold definitely doesn’t always get a green. In fact this is the first time I’ve had a detached centerfold/wrap come back green. The other times they were blue with a corresponding grade drop

You get 60 days from the CC statement to file a dispute. I still have a a couple of weeks fortunately.

The traded book was slabbed. There is no reverse situation here. As said, the dealer thumbed through the book. There was no signs of color touch or trim from a review of the cover. What more due diligence could be done? Are you suggesting I deserved to be ripped off because I didn't take out a loupe and go page by page while at a con? That's absolutely silly.

I agree completely but it does not appear the seller is willing to make this right. Do you believe a credit card dispute is the best route to go? Thank you to all three comments

appreciate that. will leave the other up for a while and will move back if need be

Unfortunate that I had to post this, and I really hate this kind of drama but this is really my first true bad experience with a "reputable" seller so decided to post here for the community. Purchased a book at the Big Apple Con in December from Brett/Fantasy Comics Unlimited who had an awesome table full of GA books. I asked Brett to open the bag for the book and to thumb through the pages, which he did lightly and he confirmed it was complete. I made the purchase of Young Allies 2, with part trade and part credit card payment. When I got home I took it out and found that the centerfold was detached. I reached out to Brett via Facebook, informing him of the defect in which he offered me $200 as a refund for the obvious drop in grade. He had offered a full refund but I found the partial agreeable given what I knew and agreed as I still wanted to keep it. The next day I submitted the book to CGC and it came back qualified. The centerfold was married. I again reached out to Brett, however this time, there was really no response until he wrote this: No offer of a refund or a return. I responded again asking what the next steps would be, as sitting on a book worth half of what I paid for it is not what I expected especially when the seller guaranteed a complete book. He again responded, days later: Now, obviously, this response pissed me off. If I had known the book was qualified I wouldnt have purchased it in the first place and certainly would have taken the refund after the detached page was found. I once had a similar situation and Ted from Superworld literally offered me a fair refund to the updated value of the book and within 20 minutes it was in my paypal. His words clearly shows he does not stand by the book he sells, and that someone else would have been suckered in the future if it hadnt been me. The seller has not responded in the last week. Now, I'm asking the board, given what has been posted here (I have screenshots of the convo, as well), and given how unhelpful the seller has been, if I am in the right to submit a chargeback on my credit card to get back the lost value of the book? Is there any other remedy I should try for? Thank you all

This is across the board correct, including at PMG?

Take per Pm. Thanks!

4 for sure...my newly reholdered pedigree book will be a collectors item I guess when this changes

I actually quite like cbcs cases for modern (take up less space lol) and of course for red label but you'll never find me putting a golden age book in one of their slabs.

That Alan Moore signed league is absolute fire
