The borders are to me the most important and the size just didnt look good to me. The corners looked fine and the "BIG POOP" stain on the card is tolerable. The fact that paper was pushed down and water to help it , may not be an issue, but if the card is trimmed and graded...ugh !
I have heard that some cards may have been trimmed yrs ago and the aging created a
somewhat undetectable perforation ,perhaps. It is still my theory that many pre war and some post cards that get passed as 10 and 20's or 1 or 2's were trimmed sorta corner snipped like and the aging created the perforations. I will not buy severely rounded corners, cause for the umpteenth time ,explain to me where the hell the paper loss goes...if it not trimmed!...you can't !
Have of my collection is graded, goes back to what is acceptable to you.
Cards are graded for money, ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY !!!!! GRADED CARDS BRING MORE MONEY !!!!
If you are skeptical of a card, leave it alone and move on to something else.
Good evening
