The card came out of the pack with that edge, so that's probably why the market "ignores" it. I like rough cuts (OPC.......mmmmmm), so I'd always rather have the $40K one, although not for more than 1.3333 x the other one.

Rough edge guarantee not trimmed. Should hold even bigger premium. Trimmers can't trim it to be rough edge

Others can correct me if I am wrong but I believe some of these card doctors can now mimic the rough cut edges?

I know that they are trimming Sports Illustrated for Kids cards and replicating the perforated edges, so it wouldn't surprise me if they could.

I've seen proof on the Blowout forum that they can indeed fake the rough edge cut.
