T206 Resource, I would appreciate an opinion on this one

Post your cards Kevin, I can easily tell if they are hacked or not

Diamond cut cards have opposite cuts on top and bottom

If you feel this PSA 8 is not hacked, that is ok, that is your opinion.

I have been collectiong T206 for 43 years, how long have you been collecting them?

20 years....

kool! let's see some of your diamond cuts. They are probably ok

When the website was first being created we made a decision to stay out of the TPG debates. It has nothing to do with politics or what auction a card may be in. We focus on the history of the set and it's production. We'll leave the grading, and second guessing of it, to others.

Dan - Though I might not have posted on Net54 about the Plank I gave my opinion of the card to many people in the hobby. Not that I think it matters anymore than anyone else's.

oh ok thanks Tim, so you have no opinion on the SCP auctions that are selling PSA graded cards with front/back combinations that can't exist?

I think you are smart to stay out of that stuff, good show!

That's different. One can tell with certainty from a scan that a front/back combo is impossible. Detecting trimming or rolled out creases isn't as clear cut.

So based on the scan of the Goodwin PSA 8 card, you can't tell it is trimmed?

Is that your professional opinion?

Hi Dan, First of all, how did the LaJoie get a PSA8 when it clearly has ink on the back. Shouldn't it have a qualifier?

Second, I know I am in the minority, but given the paper stock that was used on the T206's I find it hard to believe that ANY T206's came off of the presses with the perfect cuts that are found on the 2 Goodwin cards. If by chance they did get perfect cuts, the chances of those perfect corners and perfect edges surviving intact for over 100 years seems impossible.

Compared to many others on the board my experience with T206's is limited, but I look at ALL PSA8's and above with deep suspicion.
