Ponies!
Yeah, skip this entry if you don't want to hear me babbling about ponies. ;P
So I snagged three MOC ponies on eBay a week ago (thanks to blackjedii for even pointing me at an auction that caused me to get curious if something else was up). Starlight and Melody are in great shape--small crack in the plastic bubble on Melody's card. Both of them I have loose, though, so no issue with me keeping those MOCs on the card.
Musictime's bubble is trashed. Pulled off the card (which was not stated in the auction, but meh, no big deal--looks like the glue finally just gave up with getting jostled in shipping). I figured that I could just glue it back down until I noticed that not only is the bubble cracked by the one hoof like the auction stated, but there's a HOLE in the plastic and her hoof is filthy.
Still paid a good price for the pony with all of her stuff and her back card, so I'm not upset by that.
Should I bother resealing the bubble, though? Or should I just say the heck with it and remove it after taking her out and cleaning her up? I'm really leaning towards the latter option because she's not even remotely mint at the moment.
