Im not crazy about the lower right corner and Im not entirely sure what is covering up the left half of the “c” in Chicago, but I also don’t see anything definitive that would lead me to feel the card is clearly restored.
If I were holed up in a cubicle in Newport Beach I think I would be okay giving this a 1 at this time. There might be something I am missing by not judging the card in hand though. Thanks for sharing. FYI-I took a second look after I posted this and noticed the right edge gets shorter near the center of the card then wider towards the corners. This could have given the grader pause as well. There is also what appears to be a different sploch of color near the left side of Chance’s neckline. It might just be a small stain. Very tough to tell from the scan. Last edited by Bigshot69; 08-18-2019 at 10:47 PM. |

They're calling that bottom right trimmed, I am almost positive.

I don't see where it's altered either. It all looks like honest wear to me and just a poor condition example. The authentic grade could just be from the excessive wear, but I don't see the altered part.

Agree, that whole right side is wavy. While it may be honest wear in some cases, when an edge doesn't go in a straight line they are still going to call it altered.

I am more than confident this is the correct answer.

All that being said I don't think the difference between that card in "A" or in "1" is going to be significant.

Sometimes they put a reason on the slab such as "Authentic Trimmed". I don't understand why it's not consistent.

The OP's card is in poor condition. Whether or not it was trimmed 100 years ago, it's in poor condition.
Personally, I wouldn't mind altered cards being graded as Poor 1, and I think it would be awesome for every altered PWCC and Gary Moser cards to be relabelled a 1. I'd love for the Gretzky Wagner to be relabelled as Poor 1. Talk about sending a message. I'd start a movement for altered cards, including restored cards, to be labeled Poor 1.
