I am with you. I think it might not be trimmed and is undervalued.

I can tell u some people don't read the auction description before they place a bid...... they just read the auction title...... I am one of them.

I do Always like to remain optimistic on pieces such as this one...
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?

That's interesting. I would be interested in knowing if Kevin (hi Kevin) was bidding, and if so, was he bidding aggressively? Saying something sucks and then bidding? Nah, that would never happen....

I just couldn't understand why...if Kevin were doing such a thing...can someone please explain this to me????

I simply don't get it?

BTW...I kiss my stockpile of PSA vouchers before I go to bed each and every night.

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.

Steve interesting thoughts above only one problem I can see who here sees Kevin as someone with an image of authority?
