Colt McClellandI know Lipset is a long-time, respected dealer. However, I have bought two lots from him over the past 2 years for a total cost of about $5,000. Unfortunately, I would have to put him in about the same class as Larry Fritch when it comes to grading - you can just bank on the fact that almost every card you get from him is graded at least one grade too high. LF is probably closer to two grades off, while LL is more like one grade off. You just have to know this going in and bid accordingly. The trimming issue is a bit different, but I agree with Dan that a second or third opinion may get you a different result, particularly if the card didn't look trimmed to you. Frankly, the only people I really trust when buying raw cards site unsees are some of the members of this forum.
