<p>[QUOTE=&quot;silentnviolent, post: 1695391, member: 8797&quot;]Is there a tear as described in the 2012 auction? If not, I wouldn&#039;t exactly agree you were scammed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe the previous owner submitted it to PNG for professional conservation? That probably costs some money; I suppose the fees would be relative to the methods employed. Which is to say, I&#039;d imagine that dirt/stain removal may be cheaper than repairing creases, holes, tears, anything dealing with the integrity of the paper fibers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then ethics come into play. If you sink any significant money into (successful) conservation, would you, or SHOULD you mention upon its sale that it was professionally conserved? Would the seller of a newly conserved note then be obligated to disclose the extent of conservation methods employed?</p><p><br /></p><p>I have two opinions regarding this transaction:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. You should have searched it looked up PRIOR to paying $1000+ for it, you could have made a better informed buying decision.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. The seller shouldn&#039;t have to mention whether there was conservation done because I&#039;ve seen examples posted here that were graded, professionally conserved, resubmitted, and there was no mention on the new holder. The Internet makes it so easy to look up yourself, at home, as you have demonstrated, see #1 above.</p><p><br /></p><p>Were you going to send it to TPG prior to discovering its past description/grade? </p><p>Will you keep it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
