1888 S. F. Hess (N321) card controversy ends....it's FREE, at last it's FREE of TPG

I agree with Mark. The "proofs" you refer to were just trimmed from a poster. They have some value, but much less than an issued card.

i would say the value is debatable as the scarcity is somewhat of an equalizer..but I also agree that they are not "proofs."

Pete--supply is only one side of the equation. What is trimmed off a poster is less valuable than actually issued cards.

I can definitively argue that the demand side of the equation is more important than the supply side in determining value. And no doubt most, if not all, poster cuts are less valuable than cards, in my experience (too).

I agree...but perhaps not forever.

OK guys......after several iterations, SGC got it correct on my S. F. Hess J. Smith card............

1st label

2nd label Proof (incorrect)

Final label Type 2 (correct)

If type 2 means trimmed off a poster they got it right. I don't believe that these should be slabbed at all, not with an A and certainly not with a numerical grade. Are there any other items trimmed off a poster that get slabbed?
