I think the collecting community can agree c9 means very good but not perfect. Also bear in mind that genoneguy was given the opporunity to wait to see closeup pictures of the items, but he declined and chose to mail payment rather than wait.
I'm afraid genoneguy is simply a buyer who not only always expects perfect items but isn't willing to even take the time or put forth the patience to wait for pictures of what he is buying.
Not to jump in the middle here. But there is a definative grading scale, especially when you say C9. If you have used the term 90% or 9/10 you could argue subjectivity. You really could. You are not quoting a well defined scale used as an industry standard like when you say C9. Here is the scale:
POOR---C1orC2
GOOD---C3orC4
VERY GOOD---C5orC6
EXCELLENT---C7or C8
NEAR MINT---C8.1toC9.9
MINT---C10
POOR--- A poor condition item will have any combination of the following wrong. Tears or rips in the card , proofs of purchase cut out or missing and heavy edge wear. Corners will be well rounded and soft. Also major creases may exist across the card. The bubble may be dented or partially torn away from the card and or cut. At this point the toy in the bubble could be worth more loose than in this package.
GOOD--- This is a step up from Poor but still is in bad shape. The card may contain small tears and heavy edge wear. Some creasing will still be evident and the corners will still be soft. The bubble may also contain dents dings or scratches.
VERY GOOD--- A very good item will show marked improvement from good. A Very Good card should show no tears but may have some creasing still and edge wear will still be evident. The bubble may still show some small dings but no major dents should be present.
EXCELLENT--- As we move closer to mint condition grading becomes more subtle. Excellent condition will find no tears to the card and edge wear will be at a minimum. The bubble will be completely in tact , however dings or scratches may occur around the bottom of the bubble. Only slight creasing caused by the gluing of the bubble process should be evident.
NEAR MINT--- Near mint , probably the most common grade. The only wear you should find on a near mint piece would be normal wear during shipment. The card will be clean with on tears, scratches or creasing. The corners will be excellent showing no wear, and edge wear will be almost non-existant . The bubble will be completely in tact with no scratches.
MINT--- The top of the line. The mint item will be clean , Void of any nicks or scratches. Edges will be clean and crisp showing no signs of wear at all. The bubble again will have no nick s or scratches and be well centered. The only creasing that may

You yourself said C9 is very good but not perfect...very good is a term used to describe C6 condition.
I think the solution lies in 8118 adhering to the scale if he wants to trade. And Geno getting better documentation (i.e. pictures) before making a deal...especially if you want C9 cards.
