The scammers love all the 1948/1949 Leaf sports cards. Between cross grades, honest regrades, and altered regrades, the pop reports are almost useless.

I was thinking that too. Slightly less likely to be modified with evil intent.

1951 Topps Ringside. I thought there was a bunch of examples of that one being trimmed.

Ah. I didn't see this thread, but I made one for each in the post-war baseball and the football forums down below. I think they had been sitting on some for quite a while, and with Worthpoint shutting down card history, probably convinced them to either get back at it or release what they've been finding.

This is all great information but honestly it hasn’t stopped this hobby’s growth one bit. Sadly it’s been proven people spending money don’t care as long as it’s in a slab.

Trimming and Altering will Continue there are zero repercussions for doing it.

Trust is a funny thing, all it would take is a few famous social media collectors to call out all the trimming on that set and turn their back on them, the values would plummet.

Except for Ted Shermans "pulled from the pack with my own hands" Leafs, those prices would double overnight.

I am glad that I measured and bought my Jackie Robinson RC back in the 80s. I would hate to be collecting them today.
