A few weeks ago, I paid Leon a boatload for an Old Judge Delahanty that he picked up on Ebay for a song. He drives a hard bargain. |

Hal--Have you given up on the PSA registry set? How come the SGC slabbing? Congrats on the grade! |

It was NOT rejected as trimmed......and when I had the card ( for about 3 seconds ) I louped, magnified, felt of, and smelled it.....it is NOT trimmed in my novice opinion either.....what a great card.... |

I looked for your set on the PSA set registry and couldn't spot it. How about a link? |

I'm lost. What is the PSA story? Was the card rejected by them before it was sent to SGC? |

Leon - did you taste the card? The best way to validate that a card is un-trimmed is to run your tongue across all four borders - if you have a truly sensitive tongue you can spot minute discrepancies. |

Are the edges rounded on this pic or are the corners sharp? Any back damage? |

Not being well versed on the nuances of grading could someone explain why a factory miscut would make a card ungradeable. The card has not been changed from its original state. It just was a mistake in production, to my way of thinking in the same class as a card that is cut off center. If the grading company believes that it detracts from the card they should reduce the grade accordingly, but they should still slab the card. Having said that I don't believe that PSA is alone in this type of goofiness. SGC has rejected some Old Judge for being factory cut off size(Trevor had this happen if I am not mistaken). |

Hey Hal--You should buy my Keeler. Then you could put on your site that NO cards in the world are graded higher than your Keeler. . |

I couldn't agree more that they are still factory cards and should be GRADED as such....Both SGC and PSA have this problem....I had a D359 that I submitted, to SGC, at the National and it came back miscut. I asked why it wasn't holdered.....after a couple of very lame excuses they said send it back in and we might re-think it..With the way the grading companies grade there is no excuse for not grading a miscut card....if they truly believe it is not trimmed or altered....no excuse at all........I will let ya'll know when I get it back in the next few days if they "understood"....I also still believe, in my bias, that SGC knows how to grade vintage far better than PSA.....I almost got Mr.Delahanty back because of it....DANG IT !! later |

Well first off, nice Delahanty Hal!!! I hate to say it but I told you so Leon. I knew the card would grade very high. Just to let everyone know I own the other two cards from the Delahanty ebay lot, Welch and Turner which are both in about the same condition. I had to go to dinner the night the auction ended so I missed out on the final bidding. |

that you're a conneseur or art and an artist in your own right...the Delahanty is NOT pink; it is brown with very faint pink highlihts--and gorgeous.That's the REPRINT made from the card I'm talking about. |

I personally have had a T207 with and angle cut top to bottom graded SGC 60. I believe a board member now owns it. And have had a T202 with the wonderful wavy factory cut rejected, but have seen many other T202's with the same wavy cut graded. Maybe I should have said something. I agree that if it is a factory cut slab it and grade it accordingly. |

...is that PSA doesn't have the skill in house to grade anything straight out of a cookie cutter, so they're afraid of making a mistake (and based on their past OJ slabbings, well they should be). Hal's Delahanty experience should be clue enough for vintage collectors to stay away from PSA...and if that's not enough, Dan's t206 "lost Magie" fiasco should be. |
