Ok, so I'm browsing through a seller's store on the Bay and I noticed this card. Is it me or does that corner appear to be frosted? Alot of his other 56s in his store look a little frosty too. Or is it the camera shots?

    Very common to have a small portion frosted, especially on a corner. I wouldn't worry about it, there is no way to fit a card through that area. Anyone who has a large size set probably has quite a few like that, I know that I do. They get banged around through shipping, handling etc. Now, if a side is frosted, that is another issue.

    Cool, good to know. Still a rookie at collecting slabs. I appreciate the feedback.

    Not sure if the OP was paranoid especially with all the talk as of late regarding
    cards being switched. How can one buy the card and not the holder if the card
    is not the one that should be in the holder?

    Good for you.
