Goodwin missing color t206 plank auction

Thanks Johnny. I thought for sure I've seen the "hand cut" designation somewhere. That's never appeared on a graded card before?

And Brooklyn won big time against OKC last night! Go Nets!

PSA puts the caveat (Handcut) on many of their strip cards, especially when numerically graded. That is probably where you saw it. And the fact I have applauded them numerous times on this board for that, probably has jogged your decreasing memory .

Leon- it was also your idea to have the PSA 8 Wagner redesignated with "hand cut" on the label. I guess I assumed that wasn't the only time it would have appeared, and that there was precedent.

I've always thought of the word "trimmed" as something negative, as a deception to artificially make a card seem better than it is. In the case of the Plank nothing bad was done to it.

Yes it was Barry. And I and approximately 30% (if I remember correctly) of the board agreed with me. I agree that "trimming" has a negative connotation while "handcut" doesn't, as much. Personally, I would always prefer "handcut" over "trimmed" on a flip when it's warranted.

Agreed.
