This is actually my thought or concern. Greg, could you share how you evaluate an encased card for trimming? Measuring dimensions alone is imprecise, so what else is currently in the equation that would make an evaluator feel comfortable concluding that a card has not been trimmed.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I will share a tip:
Use 1 eye when you line up a ruler to a card
in a slab. If you have both eyes open, it will
cause a literal optical illusion due to the
perspective of binocular vision.

And...

Second prize was a platinum membership and
a PSA goody basket coming in the mail. Steve
Sloan invited me out to California also.

And the beer will require you to open the second eye to see straight.
