Default Do cams come with any kind of marks new?

Hey all, do new cams come with any marks from machining? If not I need to tear up some dudes a$$ on ebay for advertising new cams, but they have what appear to be wear marks.

Thanks,
-Matt

The difference isn't very noticable, but it looks more like roller marks more that a grinder or cnc whatever they use. Also the cams still have some kind of grease on them, and they were in plastic bags.

Thanks,

LOL well I found out that they were new, and those marks are from testing. Some of the lines are squiggley, and I saw some pics of new heads, and the cams that were seperate had the same exact type of marks. The pics realy don't show it good it just showed the weird anti-moisture oil buildup on the outside of the lobes that crap is thick. All I did is wipe them down, and it went away go figure they were just kind of buff marks lol good thing I didn't ream that guy too much, but he showed me the recept that was from about 2 months ago lol he was getting steamed i'm such a jack A$$!!!

Thanks guys, now you can all line up in a row and roshambo me....
