Silver KingI picked up this Cabinet Card of Silver King several years ago and I'd like to get some opinions on two issues (1)type of cabinet card. Obviously this is a card of a player out of uniform. Was this common among ballplayers and are these types of cards desirable to collectors? (2) Grading. I debated whether or not to have the card graded and whether or not it could be graded. My first grading concern was whether or not SGC would put their stamp of approval that the card is actually Silver King. Secondly I wondered about the fact that the card has been trimmed on the bottom and all four corners. I emailed Michael at SGC he said that too much had been trimmed to give it an authentic grade. I guess my first question is why won't they grade a trimmed card as authentic-trimmed or something similar? Also, if the card hadn't been trimmed and was in perfect shape, would they be able to say whether or not it is Silver King and give it a grade?
