I probably should have just contaced him first though

I think this is why people jumped on you more than anything, and you realized it in the end--you just have to give someone a chance to resolve the issue before you give up and neg them, which should be the last resort, instead of your first reaction.

Seriously where?  I don't even see rings.  Let me dig thru my collection and find some fine specimen Newton's lol.  

It's tough to pick up in a cover photo. But in hand, the entire cover is basically covered in NR. 

Honestly if TATs weren't so long I would contact CGC to reholder it.

I'm willing to remove the negative feedback, that's no problem, but I just don't appreciate people being upfront about stuff like this. This is a very expensive item with additional costs like import duty (something the people from the US rarely need to pay).

Literally this is the whole point of feedback. If you don't provide a good or service stated in the advertisement, why would I not give negative feedback?

If I have an issue with a seller and he refuses to meet in the middle or worse, I may leave negative feedback. Ive just never had that problem. Probably because I rarely buy from sellers with less than 100% positive feedback. 

I also want to add there are a few sellers on Ebay that are strutting around with 100% positive feedback only because I showed restraint.

If you like putting <NM+ / PERFECT copy> in your description, you should know what it means.

1)It's not a defect? 

Correct.

Is it supposed to happen?

When different plastics touch? Yes, they create unique, ugly reflections like that.  I don't think this is a "defect" in the process, I just think it's the nature of the CGC beast.  Plastic inside a thin plastic shell will cause this.  It's the design, not a defect.

Does CGC possess secret technology that the other companies don't have? 

I don't know but that is an excellent question!.  Who can we ask?  And why are we asking?

2) If it isn't a defect, why doesn't anyone want them 

Because they're ugly and they take away from the looks of the book when viewing it.  Defenders will say "you're paying for the grade, not the case!!"

Anyway, I don't have Marvel diamond price boxes in my collection, I hate 'em.  They aren't a defect... they're just ugly.

3) Isn't one of the definitions of insanity doing the same thing over and over and hoping for different results?

One of them.  There are many.

4) We are in agreement here.

Well, this worries me....
