Here is a detail of the central portion. While I am concerned with the "strike-through" at the team name, the blue print shows no dot structure or pixelation (is that even a word?) to indicate a copy. There is a sort of weaxy feel to the paper, though not like you'd expect to find on a more recent candy wrapper.

What do you think on value . . . 50% of VG "book?" 25%? 10%?
I have seen a fair amount of trimmed ones and they just don't sell too well, from my experience. Maybe $25-$50 on this one.....or in that ballpark, is my guess. I think there are/were a few on ebay that were trimmed and were on there a long time without selling. Demand on them is only so-so to start with as they stretch the definition of what a "card" is...though I do consider them one I would guess many collectors might not. If I had this in auction I would put it with some other misc items to generate more interest. ..regards
