Wow, they also have a T206 Plank graded PSA 6 MC. There's no scan of the back, but it doesnt appear that the name what cut into, maybe very little. Maybe send it off to sgc?

Maybe they meant "trimmed".....upper and lower right bat ears look prominent (could be the scan?)

That is a really nice Plank! The MC designation seems a bit harsh to me.

SGC would probably give that card
an 50/4 VG-EX . My experience with the qualifiers is that SGC takes a card it deems Off-center or miscut for the grade (here no more than an 80/6)and subtracts 2 full grades... If the card is MK (marked) the grade probably goes further down further although I'm not entirely clear on how SGC accounts for that....

If you would rather have it in an SGC holder that's certainly fine but don't expect a "bump." Additonally, SGC will not automatically deem it not altered (in this case trimmed) because of the PSA holder, which I believe is as it should be. I have been trying to upgrade my SGC T202s and the only nice ones I see are PSA graded (the raw ones are too risky, especially over the internet) so that's where I'm comng from.

Brian, I'm not sure I agree - I've seen many an SGC graded card which had seemingly no impact from being off-centered.
