It looks narrow compared to the very wide SGC 80. Not so sure it looks that narrow compared to the average card in this issue. I am guessing if someone had just posted the 8.5 by itself, you wouldn't be making that blind bat comment.

I don't know I think if you have seen this card in your hand raw you would say something is wrong here, you know better. Just me idk...it’s small... that's all.

Look at all the WWGs on ebay and tell me if you still think it's obviously narrow. Size seems to vary.

If I was being paid hundreds of dollars to be sure if it was trimmed or not among other things I'd darn sure know how to tell. (I do now, but would be extra dilligent, which apparently isn't at all how grading is done.)

But the opinion sellers don't care like you do, and they have proven that they don't care time and time again.

It really is laughable.

Well that one left A LOT of cardboard on the cutting room floor. When will mistakes of this magnitude start to hurt the Opinion Sellers' business? I would have thought long ago.

Never, not a chance of it ever happening in any way shape or form.

Peter and Ben are correct.

The business is bullet proof.

'Too big to fail' I believe is the term the kidz use these days.

It's a sin to destroy a beautiful card like that.

One phrase I've noticed a couple times is "full boarders". For example when people are talking about the condition of a card they'll say "Great centering, strong color & full boarders". I suspect this phrase will become more & more common in the coming years.

Shout out to BODA (BlowOut Detective Agency) for all their amazing work.
