Default question about a seller on ebay

Posted By: Phil

To follow up on the last post..........if one (or more) of his cards are trimmed, he may not even know for sure that is the case. He may have accumulated these cards over the years and didn't mind if they might have been trimmed. He might not know who had them before or what they did to them. Many of these cards have probably gone through hundreds of hands over the years.
I purchased a raw T206 on ebay a couple of years ago. I sent it into SGC for grading and it came back with "evidence of trimming". I then told the seller about that and he was adament that the card had not been trimmed. He offered me my money back, but I kept the card instead. He had said that he had the card in his collection for 20 years. But, what about the other 78 or so years? Who's to tell.
