Who do I blame for this?
I went to a card show yesterday (only my second this year) and did fairly well. The only one of my usual sources that was there was Roger Neufeldt. He tends to sell at slightly higher quality and, thus higher prices than I prefer for my set building, so I have to do some bargain shopping but can usually find enough to spend my budget and still have to put some back.
I thought I found a screaming deal on a 1965 Joe Morgan RC. I thought it was so cheap because of the slight stain on the front. However, when I got it home.... well, see for yourself. That top border is a big yikes. I am assuming this isn't a manufacturing defect, but rather someone trimming the card poorly? Don't get me wrong, at $15, I am quite happy with this card and it will look just fine in my set. I am more curious about how this happened. Thanks. |

Lay it on top of another '65 Topps - how does it measure? If smaller than your comparison card I'd expect it to be poorly trimmed by some kid. Larger? Most likely left the factory that way.

I've got a Morgan RC like that. Looks like it was a noobie trim project by a first grader using plastic scissors.

Maybe sheet cut ?

Trimmed
Not sure but there are a lot of mid-60s baseball cards with really bad/ weird cuts (not necessarily trimmed). That said it obviously impacts price and voids possibility of sending in for grading, For example there is a dealer I buy from with a strange '67 Brooks high number with an edge that is sort diagonal but makes no sense someone trimmed it like that

Not trimmed. Joe Morgan RC very frequently has a miscut top edge.

65 morgan
I believe Morgan was at left edge of the 1st series printing sheet so it is not uncommon to see that type of miscut on his card
