Now if it can be lapped until the crack is gone on the surface, great! If the crack on the side is just on the edge of the side, also great.

Fact is, opinions were asked and they were given...the pics show a crack on the face and the side, and until it's actually in hand and can be looked at we won't know. I hope it's superficial, no-one want to see someone get a bad item.

Just my opinion...hopefully it will work out for the best
Exactly! Well phrased!
