I just received a Masterpiece Sol Ring that I ordered via eBay. The card was listed at NM+, but the card I received appears to have a thin, visible strip of the underlying foil material across the top border. The strip almost looks like an extension of the natural black border of the print, which made me wonder if it's a printing error. However, the strip appears non-uniform in some parts. Have you guys seen this with other Masterpiece foils? Should I request a return via eBay's Money Back Guarantee?
I'm not questioning the authenticity of the card itself, but whether or not it is a scuffed/worn card vs. a card with a printing error.
It's fine. It's the type of foiling. A few of my expeditions have that 'it looks like its scuffed but it's not' look. I believe this is one of the reasons people don't like this type of foiling

Good to know, thank you. Frustrating that such a high-profile subset of cards can have such obvious flaws to them. As I said in my original post, it almost looks as thought the black border ink failed to make it all the way to the edge of the foil card stock.

I have attached a few images.
Fine as in, not damaged and actually NM? I don't have any other Masterpiece cards to compare this to, so I'm not familiar with the foiling.
