Is this usual craftsmanship for new GC camber plates

I received my brand new Ground Control camber plates and they don't quite look like brand new. Is this normal? Strange regarding how I read people raving about their craftsmanship.
They will get nicked once installed for sure, but I just wanted to make sure I paid fair price for it.

Looks like handling damage. The damage is post anodizing

I would let that slide, no possible impact on performance, I bet most people wouldn't even check them that closely. Once installed you will never think of it again and it won't matter either

Mine were impeccable when I received them. However, as others have stated, this minor cosmetic damage will have zero impact on performance and will not be visible when installed.

Yeah I just wanted to make sure the vendor didn't give me a "b-stock" or one that was installed before because it wouldn't be fair that I paid full price. H&R springs, Billstein struts and Xida coil-overs I've bought before all came nothing like this. I appreciate your inputs and agree it won't be matter once installed. The vendor mistakenly sent me two passenger side ones, so I am keeping the better one. The driver side one I received today looks great.
