It will be interesting to see if this card ( 33Goudey Lajoie) gets sent in again to be graded and gets a numerical grade. It may depend on who sends it in ? Could be a large profit for someone !!!

Hmmm...if REA tells me that "PSA" says it's trimmed...I'd bet it's trimmed!!!!

Perhaps a case of collectors truly buying the card, not the grade, although this would be an extreme case, no doubt.

On a smaller scale, this PSA 4.5 Turkey Red Cobb sold for a bit more than this PSA 5 example. Both nice cards for the grade, but the PSA 4.5 looked a little cleaner and sharper (ie. collectors buying the card).

We've seen some interesting results in this auction. I guess you're going to see some anomalies when you have old men spending large amounts of green on pictures of dead men on cardboard. And it's 4:43 am on the East coast.
