"great raw card sellers on EBay" thread

I don't buy raw cards on the Bay very often anymore, and it is largely because I have been disappointed in the condition so many times. A scan- even a good one- can only tell you so much. Many sellers fail to mention flaws that can't be seen in the scan (but are obvious when you have the card in hand), and many sellers just flat-out lie about the condition.
The general rule as a buyer seems to be that you should bid as if the card were one grade lower than the seller is advertising....... but there are some exceptions to that rule. The last time you opened up that bubble mailer and thought "I agree completely with the seller's grading"- or even "wow- these are MUCH nicer than I was expecting!!", who was the seller?
Two sellers I have bought from this year that fit this description: initialbay, ginagain
Who has impressed you recently??
