I would love to continue to train my eyes to detect alterations, but the question always comes up for me...without being able to actually hold the card in hand and inspect with loupes, etc. how can you confidently tell with online pics? I’ve seen a few posts on here referencing Ebay auctions and people posting “100% altered” without giving any specifics. This is obvious a critical need in the hobby (especially to inform newer, younger collectors) so why not have a separate thread/board solely of people’s examples and critiques of trimmed cards to help educate us all? Has anyone ever thought about an actual business- maybe prospective buyers pay a small fee to an “expert” who has been doing this for a long time to weigh in an opinion on the card (within say 24 hours) before the buyer bids?

Good dealers, honest auction houses, fellow board members. Anytime you want to farm out a job like that you run the risk of corruption. It\'s best to put in the work with the aforementioned resources and learn for yourself. Not trying to be a jerk, but there is no good shortcut to putting in the time and learning, and frankly, if you enjoy the hobby, why would you want a shortcut?

Face to face interaction with cards in hand and people who have the same interests is probably the best (and fastest) way to learn. Like a lot of life you are as strong as your network. It\'s a win-win as, to me, this hobby is more fun when shared.

I\'ve come to understand that sort of thing is easier for some people than others. Not a bad/good thing, but almost more of a difference in how their brains work. I\'m pretty good with cards and edges, but almost hopeless with autographs even when I\'m told what\'s good or bad about a particular one. I can get the really awfully bad fakes. <br />\r\n<br />\r\nWhat sets are you into? I have a decent assortment of the more available ones and could send scans of the edges.

I appreciate all the feedback and hate to just keep repeating the same question but all of this info basically assumes you have a raw card in hand at home with a halogen lamp and loupes. I live in small town Wisconsin, even before Covid there is little access to card stores or shows thus like most collectors I purchase 99% online. The crux of my question is how do you do that more confidently, especially if the card is already slabbed and only get a pic of the front and back? That\'s where my idea came up of an independent group of experienced collectors who could eyeball a posting and give you honest feedback (maybe for a fee of 2% of the value or something). This wouldn\'t be bible but at least help newer vintage collectors like me and in the big picture help the hobby in general because no one wins if altered cards continue to sell at exorbitant prices. Sure this too could be open to corruption but the mission statement would be based on integrity and trust and only those "trusted" collectors and dealers who have that cache would be involved. <br />\r\n<br />\r\nIt\'s a shame we cannot trust the authentication process (not just the grading - I can look at a card and even I can tell reasonably the grade) of the grading companies. Say what you want about PSA, and I certainly not oblivious to the critiques, but when an actual grader sits down with a card are they under a halogen lamp with loupes on, or do they just eyeball the corners and wear, assign a number and move on? I\'m not asking for opinion, I\'m know the hatred for PSA runs deep, but actual knowledge of this process. I\'ve certainly seen good looking cards in a PSA slab labeled "altered" so at least sometimes this process worked as it should.\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right">\r\n			<!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				<a href="newreply.php?do=newreply&amp;p=1978064" rel="nofollow"><img src="images/buttons/quote.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" border="0" /></a>\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			<!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n		</div>\r\n\r\n	<!-' + '- message, attachments, sig -' + '->\r\n\r\n	</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- post 1978064 popup menu -' + '->\r\n<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_1978064_menu" style="display:none;">\r\n	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">\r\n	<tr>\r\n		<td class="thead">mferronibc</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?u=628416">View Public Profile</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&amp;u=628416" rel="nofollow">Send a private message to mferronibc</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=finduser&amp;u=628416" rel="nofollow">Find all posts by mferronibc</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-' + '- / post 1978064 popup menu -' + '->\r\n\r\n\r\n	</div>\r\n	\r\n		</div>\r\n	</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / close content container -' + '->\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / post #1978064 -' + '->';

Superdan from blowout has an email listed on his posts where you can message him directly.  As said, you need to be an expert on each type of card, their factory edges, their look, their feel, etc.  Maybe you just can\'t trust yourself to purchase items online until you get more experience.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\nHaving the cards in hand raw you can feel, smell, and compare them to commons from the same set.  Some of the people who say "trimmed" or "fake" on a post know what they\'re talking about and have the experience.  Many are just trained to be distrustful, and will post "fake" no matter what to try and look smarter.  For most Topps sets, you can get commons from COMC for under $1-2 each.  For Goudey, you can probably buy some for $5-10 each.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\nOne thing I\'ve recommended in the past is to look up old threads (like 1933 Goudey Set Collectors or 1952 Topps set collectors) and see who the most knowledgeable guys on that set are.  Then direct message those members and send them the link and get their thoughts directly.  If you make a post, they might not respond, but if you send them a direct question, they usually will.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\nFakers/trimmers have gotten really good over the past couple of years, and can now fake "factory rough cuts", "factory perforations", fill in pinholes, recolor ink, remove stains, etc.  Many things you won\'t be able to tell from online scans unless the seller is willing to take additional pictures for you, or you could match them to previous scans of the same card.  Good luck to you on trying to learn this stuff.\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		<!-' + '- sig -' + '->\r\n			<div>\r\n				__________________<br />\r\n				-' + '- <br />\r\nPWCC: The Fish Stinks From the Head<br />\r\nPSA: Regularly Get Cheated<br />\r\nBGS: Can\'t detect trimming on modern<br />\r\nSGC: Closed auto authentication business<br />\r\nJSA: Approved same T206 Autos before SGC<br />\r\nOh, what a difference a year makes.\r\n			</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / sig -' + '->\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right">\r\n			<!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				<a href="newreply.php?do=newreply&amp;p=1978070" rel="nofollow"><img src="images/buttons/quote.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" border="0" /></a>\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			<!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n		</div>\r\n\r\n	<!-' + '- message, attachments, sig -' + '->\r\n\r\n	</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- post 1978070 popup menu -' + '->\r\n<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_1978070_menu" style="display:none;">\r\n	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">\r\n	<tr>\r\n		<td class="thead">swarmee</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?u=569386">View Public Profile</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&amp;u=569386" rel="nofollow">Send a private message to swarmee</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=finduser&amp;u=569386" rel="nofollow">Find all posts by swarmee</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-' + '- / post 1978070 popup menu -' + '->\r\n\r\n\r\n	</div>\r\n	\r\n		</div>\r\n	</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / close content container -' + '->\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / post #1978070 -' + '->';
