Description: KEVIN JOHNSON 1995-96 Topps Finest #M40 Mystery Bordered Phoenix Suns Thank you for considering this item from MackDaddyGotCards. I am just a hobbyist primarily selling cards to recuperate some of the money spent on doing what I love: ripping packs/boxes! Please see below for common questions/details regarding Card Condition, Photos, Buy-It-Now & Offers, Packing & Shipping Details, and Combined Shipping Discount "Rules". Pictures/Card Condition All items are photographed using an iPhone and most using a light box to provide optimal pics. The vast majority of the raw cards I sell are opened/ripped myself, photographed, then placed immediately in a sleeve and either top-loader or one-touch case. As most cards listed are right from the pack, it is presumed that they should be in mint or near mint condition. As cards are mass produced, I know this is not always the case. Therefore, I do inspect them briefly when photographing and will change condition to Excellent in listings when any noticeable defect is seen. I certainly do not see every minor defect and not all minor defects warrant a change from Near Mint to Excellent, but I do try to be as transparent/fair as I can possibly be. All potential buyers are strongly encouraged to inspect each card carefully using the provided pictures if you are considering grading. If additional pictures are needed for your assessment, please reach out and I will do my best to accommodate. I also buy cards for my personal collection and can understand where buyers are coming from when it comes to good pics to evaluate cards. In some cases, slab/graded cards listed will use the PSA high-quality pics that are taken from the PSA orders. I will do this is some cases to list slabs when they are on their way back to me from PSA (or sometimes when I don?t want to dig the slab out to list). I am happy to provide pics taken myself of the slabs if the PSA pics are not adequate or if there is any concern about the integrity/condition of the slab itself. If there are any major defects in a slab/graded card listed, I will make every effort to note this in details and to take representative pictures. Buy-It-Now/Offers ? Don?t Message Offers! Messages to consider an offer when there is no Make Best Offer option will NOT be responded to. If an item is listed as Buy It Now, without the option to Make Best Offer, then the listed price is the lowest I will consider selling at that time. Messages with offers will NOT be responded to for items listed as Buy It Now when the option to Make Best Offer is available. Only offers made using the Make Best Offer button/option will be considered. Messages asking ?What is the lowest price you will accept? will NOT be responded to; just make the lowest offer YOU are willing to pay. Shipping Details Every effort is made to package all purchased items as securely and safely as possible to minimize the risk of damage during shipping. Please see feedback. Details of how specific items are typically shipped: Individual raw cards <$20: Penny sleeve, semi-rigid toploader, toploader sleeve, painter?s tape on back to prevent shifting in envelope, white 6.5? x .5? envelope. For patch cards or other thicker cards, the same packaging applies. However, additional ?non-machinable? postage will be added by seller to be able to use the cheaper eBay white envelope option (better for seller and buyer). Individual raw cards >$20: Penny sleeve, semi-rigid toploader, toploader sleeve, cardboard or foam on top/bottom, then shipped in a 7? x 5? x 1? box or bubble mailer. Individual raw cards >$100: Penny sleeve, one-touch magnetic holder, mag holder sleeve, cardboard or foam on top/bottom, then shipped in a 7? x 5? x 1? box or bubble mailer. Multiple raw cards and smaller card lots <$20: Penny sleeve, semi-rigid toploader, toploader sleeve, painter?s tape on back to prevent shifting in envelope, white 6.5? x 3.5? or 10? x 4? envelope when 2 toploaders placed in same envelope. Chrome cards will be individually sleeved, but may be combined in a single toploader. Multiple paper cards may be placed in a single penny sleeve in some cases, then in a single toploader. In some cases when multiple cards are combined into one shipment, but the eBay ?semi-rigid? or 0.25? thickness requirements cannot be met, shipping will be changed to USPS Ground Advantage (fixed shipping cost does not change for buyer). In this case, multiple toploaders will be placed in a larger sleeve/team bag, cardboard or foam on front and back, then shipped in a 7? x 5? x 1? box. Sets: Smaller sets (i.e. insert sets) will have cards individually sleeved, cards placed in team bag, cardboard or foam front and back, then shipped in a 7? x 5? x 1? box. Complete larger sets will be placed in an appropriate sized set/storage box with bubble or foam padding when necessary. Higher value cards in the set that are pictured in toploaders in listing will be included in set box in toploader. The set box will then be placed in a second larger box with padding for shipping. Slabs/Graded Cards: Slab/Graded card sleeve, cardboard or foam front and back, then shipped in a 7? x 5? x 1? box. Up to 3 slabs may be shipped in a single box. If 4 or more slabs are combined, slabs will be bubble wrapped then shipped in an appropriately sized box (usually PSA small box). Combined Shipping When multiple items are purchased by a single buyer, all items will be combined into a single parcel for shipping. Please be aware that there is no requirement by eBay or otherwise for sellers to offer combined shipping discounts. However, a shipping discount will be applied when requested by buyer for Buy-It-Now items shipped by USPS Ground Advantage ONLY. There are varying calculations/ways sellers apply combined shipping discount. The formula I use is: Full shipping cost for highest priced item, then 50% off shipping cost of each additional item. The request for a shipping discount should be made before payment is made so that adjustments can be made prior to paying. If a request is made after payment, the discount will be given in the form of a refund. Shipping discount requests will NOT be accepted for eBay White Envelope shipped items (usually fixed shipping of 0.99 or 1.49 for thicker cards), as the increase in thickness/weight alters the shipping cost for seller. In cases where multiple variations of a card, insert set, etc are purchased, a discount may be automatically applied when multiple items are purchased; this will be noted in listing. Shipping discount requests will NOT be accepted for Auctioned Items when multiple items are won by a single buyer. The shipping cost should be considered to bundled into the cost of the card. There certainly is some debate about this practice, but it does provide a level of ?protection? for sellers when auctioned items sell for well under value. As I typically grade cards myself, which costs $15-$20 at minimum, significant losses are taken when a single buyer purchases multiple slabs for <$20, but then requests a shipping discount for these cheaper items. (Example: 3 slabs costing seller $16 a pop to grade sell for $16 each to same buyer. Shipping for each item would typically be $5 per slab. The buyer would pay $63 total (excluding tax). The seller would combine shipping and pay $5 (maybe more depending on weight) for USPS Ground Advantage. eBay will take roughly 15% of sale. So seller gets $63 - $5 for shipping - $9.50 for selling fees = $48.50. As the slabs cost $48 to grade, the seller take home less than $1; this does not even take into account the cost of the card itself. Any shipping discount to buyer would then be an additional loss for the seller. Again, there is much debate about combined shipping discounts, but this is how I have chosen to handle the matter. If you take issue with this, I recommend that you do not bid on multiple items. Hopefully you can understand where I am coming from as a hobbyist just trying to get back some of the money spent on ripping packs/boxes. MDGC
