Quoted from metahugh:The warranty is probably the biggest reason to go NIB. I would say though that going HUO gives you a chance to inspect the quality of the play field before purchasing. I just bought a NIB MMR in May and kind of wish I went HUO. I am not happy with about 6 or so inserts on my playfield.
And the visible ribbing under the clear:
All normal according to CGC and not covered by a warranty. I could have taken better pics of the cracks on the inserts but you get what I mean.
Funny, had that same thing on my AFMr that I purchased a month ago. Was shocked at how bad the playfield quality was and told “its normal”. Sold it yesterday at a pretty big loss.
