Good luck we all know grading is a crap shoot at times. Never know though unless you try and it's worth it on this since the worst case it goes back into an "A" holder.

Well, since you asked
1st question: does it looked trimmed to you experts out there, as well? Yes. It also appears to have a tack hole that was filled (where your arrow points), based on the scans. Someone apparently filled the hole and trimmed it across the top and bottom. 2nd question: what do you think she's worth? Some people would never buy it because it won't grade. The last two PSA graded A that sold on ebay went for $371 and $785 according to Vintage Card Prices. So somewhere between these two prices I would suppose. 3rd question: was I a fool dropping $2K on her? Yes, if you are trying to make money on it. But if you just want to enjoy it, then that's really up to you. David Maupin Last edited by GasHouseGang; 03-18-2015 at 03:18 PM. Reason: Adding name per Leon's request.

david,
yeah, i have thick skin and appreciate truthful opinions above all else.... however, come to find out from another member* that this card has previously sold for $2049 and $1500, so i feel a little better about what i paid! although it might be trimmed, the overall eye appeal is better than most of the 5's ive seen even with the minute tack hole. *shout out to james on the previous pricing history!

The eye appeal of trimmed cards is usually pretty good.

Are you saying you'd rather have a trimmed but pretty one than a VG-EX unaltered one? Well that would put you in a small minority I would guess, judging by market values. But what the hell, to each his own, if you like sharp corners though you best be real careful of card doctors whether your cards are slabbed or not.
