I was honestly just listing that, and package condition as common examples of why people sometimes pass on figures that to me don't seem as important (I can easily touch up a messy figure in my workshop and also open most of mine except for one of each character, so card condition seldom is a deal breaker for me either). But I'd have to agree with you if I was in the position of buying just one of everything and wanted the most perfect representation of it as possible. I've noticed that at times like these, beggars can't be choosers though, so snatch up any joes that you find!
Oh, no harm taken!
I'm only picky because that 5 year streak of getting lemons made me a bit paranoid, and boy do I hate it. In time, I've become a bit more scrutinizing of items and can usually spot errors on things that most people would not notice.
As for the conditon of packaging, I only care about the box of a specific item if it's fairly new and can be found in better condition, if the packaging is limited/special edition, or if I'm spending a lot of money on it. I've bought some stuff that was dinged and smashed with no issues or regrets. To me, as long as the item inside is new and undamaged I'm okay with it.
As for touch-ups, since I don't have the time, paints, or know-how, I try to avoid having to touch up figures altogether, unless it involves black or silver details. At most, I've only cleaned up and filled in the black areas on clone/stormtopper helmets, hands, and bodies.
I try to only buy 1 of a figure I want so I save money to spend on other figures I may also want. And that's pretty much that.
