.....and if the "GPA" is all someone worries about, what does it matter if it's trimmed?

If someone were to break open the slab belonging to another owner, but gave them $50 for regrading, and the card comes back as Authentic, has a crime taken place?

Great discussion. 2 thoughts on trimmed cards: 1) knowing the t206 Joss is trimmed would remove any/all desire to own card. 2) would always rather have a card with an assigned number grade than an "authentic" card.
additional thought- My dad and I's favorite cards are t205 gold border, so we are constantly looking at cards from this set- We look at eye appeal above all else- some wear or tobacco staining (esp. on back) only adds to the character of cards, which after all, are 100+ years old. Finally, a sentiment about graded cards that I love- Buy the Card, not the Holder.

However, I think Rob & Brian got this one right. I don't like the "Bat ears" one old Eddie. & The 1st Generation Label from PSA doesn't help my humble opinion either... But an *8 is an *8... ain't it? ;-)

Kevin this isn't one of those cards you slam publicly on here for being trimmed, while you try to buy it at the same time is it?

Ah, something that belongs in the "psychology of bidding " thread.
Basically, people generally are followers. If someone with an image of authority says a card is trimmed many people will see the trimming. In a small pool of collectors - which the market for that card is- if some of them go with the flow and decide it's trimmed that reduces competition, and that sometimes reduces the price. I'm ABSOLUTELY NOT saying anyone here is or isn't doing that. In the small area of collecting racing bikes, one of the local collectors was doing just that, a particularly interesting bike would turn up on Ebay and he'd point out the "wrong" parts, say he felt it was repainted, pretty much anything to run it down. Then he'd often be the high bidder  . He's done pretty well selling them after a few years, because they were and are actually just fine.The lesson, which I think many here learned a long time ago is to learn a lot and make your own decisions regardless of someone elses opinion Including TPG.
