I actually offered him $1000 for the card as long as it was graded by PSA--no matter what grade it receives. Still waiting for a response.... |

It looks like some of those professionally re-backed N172's sold recently on ebay (plethora of them that the seller advertised as such, and did a fantastic job on the restoration) are making their way back to ebay, sans "re-backed" description. I could be wrong, but then again I could be right...doh...doh...Who would do such a thing? |

At least they labeled the Lundgren card MC, lmao!!! All that room left in the slab might be a clue that the card has been trimmed just a little. |

You have to use your common sense on this type of thing. The card is short, but that happens. Corner wear is consistent all the way around, and...what reason would anyone have to cut the top off of the original card? It's a mis-cut. |

last post sounded a little mean - unintentional. I know both of you have loads of common sense. |

Why should he have taken your $1000, he ended up with $1250 - in that nice PRO plastic. |

Can you guys honestly tell me that you would buy thes cards that are constantly put up to demonstrate how consistantly bad PSA has become. If the Lundgren was as it says EX (MC) it should have gone for at least double if not higher. If you have so much confidence in PSA you should be buying up all these examples that are posted on the board, they come at a bargain price the grade put on them. |

We need to remember that not all trimming has been done in the last 15 years. Don Mcpherson and others did it ages ago for purely innocent reasons. The years would have allowed for 'normal' wear to occur if someone who was not a 'true' collector that took care of their cards. |

Lee - Just because I don't believe it has been altered doesn't mean that I don't think it is a butt-ugly card I'd never want in my collection. |

Jay - what is the incentive to cut the top off of a card? |

too many wrinkles, regardless of whether or not they break the paper of significantly affect the presentability, hammer the grade. |

It is fairly obvious to me that the T-206 Lundgren is trimmed from looking at the space in the holder...but odds are it was trimmed long ago on the bottom, not the top. Several miscut T-206s have been trimmed over the years to remove the remnant of the top of another card that was left after the original factory miscut. This might be the case here...no cut off the top, it was already miscut and the person just cut below the name to remove the extra picture. I have seen miscuts with the second picture often enough. |
