Default How Does Trimming Effect Value?

Posted By: James Gallo

In this case he is saying the case measures right but SGC is saying it is trimmed. I think it depends on if it was trimmed on one edge or more and how severe the damage is. I have 1 trimmed card because it was affordable, a tough issue and would likely otherwise not be in my collection. I have flat out refused trimmed cards in the past but I look at them on a case by case basis. For the Goudy, well if it wasn't trimmed it would be A LOT more expensive so if I thought only one edge was slightly trimmed I might find this card acceptable.

It is really hard to say but generally I would say a VG type card with a slight trim to one side will sell for what a fair to good card would go for.
