30 day returns so I pulled the trigger.

It looks good to me. But always hard to tell if trimmed.

That card has really wavy borders and is trimmed in my opinion. I have a feeling that it has also been bleached, as it is very fresh looking, but has some super light staining still evident on back.

Bad news I'm afraid. The seller bought a nice authentic card and cracked it out, hoping to get someone to pay more for it thinking it might get a number. Here it is graded - it sold 9/24/2017 on eBay for $282.

Happy to help. I bet you can send the seller a message and ask him to cancel the sale without even sending it as he has 30 day returns - can save the shipping at least. You might also start a thread about him too...

I say have 100 people email him and let him know. Quick question - do you know for sure that he was the person that bought the card last year for $282? What if he bought it for $400 and is trying to flip it?

That is a valid point Fred, I have no idea who bought it for $282 in September, so it could well have changed hands in the interim.

Seller cancelled the order 👌. Thank you again for the help! I’ll hold off on starting a thread about him though, since I can’t be certain that he purchased the card in its altered holder.

A lot of scammers on Ebay. And that's all I have to say about that.

It was sort of hard for me to tell because I know how cards, especially really thin ones, can be wavy. Once I could have sworn a T202 was trimmed but it wasn't. Great outing of this probable scam!!

I was bored for a few minutes, so I looked into this. VCP shows the original $282 sale was by "arjones100". I checked feedback for arjones100, and he had feedback from the buyer of the Maranville altered card last year in the $282 sale. The feedback came from an eBay ID with feedback of 1078.

The seller of the raw Maranville card for $600 is "njlionsfan", who just so happens to have a feedback score of 1078.

No further questions, your honor....

Nice detective work - I figured that was probably the case but it's best to be sure if someone plans to out the ass hole.

I guess you can’t give him a neg since the sale was canceled, but he certainly deserves one.
