Trimmed T206 Common Sweet Cap 460 Factory 42 Overprint

I recently purchased a Hooks Wiltse T206 Common from a seemingly reputable website, and received it with a trimmed bottom. The card cost $36.95 with shipping, and as mentioned above it has a Sweet Cap 460 Factory 42 Overprint back. At worst I like the card, but obviously would never be able to get it slabbed. I have requested atleast a partial refund if I am to keep the card, and a full refund to return the card - I will post the name of the website based on the reply I receive from them. Otherwise I assume it's an honest mistake and would rather not expose the source.

Is it still worth anything? I don't know if overprints are common or not.

Thank you

Nice card ... too bad it doesn't measure up.

Hopefully they will treat you right.

Hi Trae,
Live and learn. The bottom of the card is a mess, gotta blame yourself on this one.... be well Brian

PS You will learn quickly how to spot a trimmed card if you have a few on hand.

What up Trae?

Is it still worth anything? Sure... but probably not quite what you paid. Oh well...get em' next time.

Grrrreat! I'll have to keep it now as it's one of my firsts. I am going to keep all of my firsts. This is my first trimmed/bad purchase, and I have a Bender portrait as my first T206 puchase/HOF'er (Thanks Keith!). I am learning more everyday - I really enjoy it! It wouldn't be the same without this community though. If you could grade online communities this would be pristine by far.
