			I don't think I could handle conversion from metric to inches on a monday.  My money would say trimmed...the top edge likely...maybe all 4...but the moustache def does not look trimmed! Last edited by ullmandds; 10-13-2014 at 11:22 AM. |

			It measures correctly then, and you're thinking it was oversized originally?  Top left corner looks a bit feathery, tough call on this one.  Sorry to make you show the titus but the front view I find is easier to tell from.

			interuptus.... speaking of things in terms of millimeters makes me feel better :-) Back to the question it looks like it *might* be trimmed to me when putting the chipping distress in the lower corners in context with regard to the bottom edge. I would take a loupe and a STRONG light and compare all of the edges to each other when looking from the side. I think it's all about how YOU feel about the card. If it doesn't keep you up at night I suggest it's all good. Without the proper tools and experience - sloppy trimming easy to spot - expert trimming not so much. Apparently a couple of examples have been posted with similar centering since I went to post. I did not use the centering in my evaluation. I've only owned a few hundred T206's which I understand is nothing in the scheme of things. With ANY card - unless I can't or won't find another - it's a pass when I feel too great a % of discomfort. Maybe this is a case where a TPG would provide real (or imagined) personal peace. Last edited by 1880nonsports; 10-13-2014 at 12:31 PM. |

			Possibly oversized and trimmed to size?  The cut doesn't bother me as much as the sharp corners  This is one of those rare times that I feel tpg's(SGC or PSA) are of value. Submit and see if it comes back with evidence of trimming. Good looking card eitherway.

 I picked it up at a card show this weekend. I'm not really a T206 collector, so I will be selling it.

			I hope it comes back with a number.  You should do well if it does because it's a hot card and a tough one to find in the condition that yours is in.  You could also leave as is and provide measurements and better scans and put it on the bay with a high bin and see what happens.
