Anyone looking at the T206s on REA?

What's a little trimming in the face of a slab and numerical grade?

Actually, when you type in "trim" in the search engine, you get quite of few hits, although many are graded authentic.

Yeah they are in holders now so who cares agree...bid away.

I have always felt a large percentage of PSA 8 and 9 T206's are trimmed. Most auctions won't mention it if its in a holder. Good for REA to be honest about it.

Nothing new, REA mentioned their opinion of trimmed cards in last year's auction.

If I'm the owner of the grading company & I see a card that was graded by my people being presented as "likely trimmed" I would ask to see those cards & if indeed proven to be trimmed buy them back at any cost. They can either be put in a Authentic holder or even better destroyed so it doesn't get back into a holder with a numerical grade.
Just my opinion.

I remember bringing this up last year and no one gave a crap. Good to see they have bids..

The trim jobs on the numerically graded PSA cards are ridiculous. It seems that unless the trimming was done with a kindergarten safety scissors, PSA misses it.
