Posted By: <b>jeffdrum</b><p>it is just a faulty scan but it sure looks wavy. Maybe the seller could send you a better scan. Maybe is was graded on Monday though!

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Bob, that has got to be the scan. That card looks like it's melting.

Posted By: <b>Marc S.</b><p>if it is trimmed. I think there is an equal possibility that the card was soaked out of an album, and has ended up warped...one can only tell so much from a scan.<br /><br />noting this, since many feel that soaking out of an album is not an egregious alteration, unlike trimming....especially considering how many high-grade 1915 CJ's have found their way into the hobby from albums, etc.

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>1st, the link isn't to the card, but to the tiny url site where the link is....<br /><br /><br /><br />Now I think the card was soaked and bleached a bit. It didn't dry out pressed and flat, but has that wave effect going. It could be trimmed... And it is in a GAI holder, which is good for keeping messy fingers off of the card itself, but not much more.<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>Card could have a warp to it, which is not uncommon with such a thin issue. But that much must be a scan problem as well.<br />JimB

Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>When I clicked on your tinyurl I got a picture of Eminem naked (), and Barack Obama! Let's stick to baseball cards, man!&gt;<br /><br />Actually I thought it was Mindy McCready naked and Hillary Clinton. My bad. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />I do think the card appears to be hand cut the way the card swerves all over the place. It could be a soaking problem though, whatever, the card would be nice except for the obvious problems.

Posted By: <b>Dave Haas</b><p>I have purchased from this seller before and after sending it in for crossover it came back as trimmed. It was a CSA slab however, not a GAI. He sells alot of CSA graded cards.

Posted By: <b>T206Collector</b><p>...it's pretty obvious the card is not trimmed, but is instead warped. Graders get it wrong on trimming to be sure, but not in this case -- they would not have missed this. <br /><br />Looking at a warped card in two dimensions, i.e., on a computer screen, will give it a wavy-edged look. It may be that the card was not so warped until it ended up in the holder.<br /><br /><br><br>_ <u> </u> _ <u> </u> _ <u> </u> _ <u> </u> _ <u> </u> _ <u> </u> _ _ <br /><br />Visit <a href="http://www.t206collector.com" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.t206collector.com</a> this month as we count down 4 Magies, 2 Wagners and a Plank!<br />
