Touched corners? maybe with a jack hammer...

My turn to vent - I'm really getting tired of this "touched corners" crap.
..."only thing that keeps this card from being mint is...." anything from rounded corners to cut in half. We've been down this road before, but this kind of hyperbole is just so much garbage. Here's the link back to the auction.
End of rant

You have to give him credit though because he always has a large scan to peruse.
His one BIG DRAWBACK as a seller is that he only takes money orders!!

That's "touched"?
That's like saying Ali "touched" Liston in the first round of their championship bout!

To his credit, he is very thorough in his explanation, gives an overview of the card, and gives a huge scan of the card for you to make up your own mind if the corners are 'touched' too much for your liking.
Shipping is very fair at $1.50 per card, and has a great feedback record.
Not sure I can see if this is really rant worthy or not...the ones that drive me up the wall is where they try to sell a card with horrific photos of the card, where you can't tell anything about it, let alone the condition.
He's an honest guy - just a bit "loose" in his descriptions.
Edited to show a larger scan, in case you couldn't see the touched corners...
<< <i>These are also slightly touched corners.....no?

no
without corners they cannot be "touched" however
anyone still holding on to this card is most definitely
"touched"
DON'T BID.
There are far worse culprits out there than this seller.
<< <i>What! are you saying the card isn't nearmint? I've got it in a 6" thick lucite block, it's a 1 of 1 beaver chewed edition. >>
Good one Lodi
But seriously, I also tire of the "touched" discription. At least he had a good picture. A good picture is normally more important to me than the discription. I understand about templetes, it does take a lot of time to write up discriptions for every auction.

<< <i>I think the buyer was more than fair in his photos/scans. If you don't want to bid....

Hey Ax
Aren't we being a bit cranky? I think people were just having a bit of fun with the guy's description?
Just like there are worse culprits out there, there are far more egregious actions here to jump on people about.
