Maybe somethng a little more obvious like this one. But your example is interesting. It is @ $700 already + Buyer's Premium, the VCP avg. for a PSA1 of the same card is $718.

Hey Jeff-Isn't that Bender card a hand cut card?

In the case of hand cut cards,that would also be an exception for me to buy a card with an "A" on it........

Many collectors feel good about having trimmed cards in their possession, especially those T206s graded PSA 7, 8 and 9

See my post on PSA Authentic--Authentics should have a reason for card being so degignated. Then we all can make a better decision for ourselves. A killer eye-appeal card with a slight trim is much more appealing than a PSA 1 that looks like it was in the spokes of a bike.

Hey, tbob. Don't kid yourself: I'm sure quite a few altered cards reside in SGC holders also.

I guess if you are buying a trimmed/altered card to fill holes in your collection and do not care much about it from an investment point of view,go for it.

If you look at your cards as an investment,you may want to realize that your return down the road may not be much with trimmed/altered cards.I don't think trimmed/altered cards are going to somehow become more valuable in the future than they are now-just my opinion.

I agree. I used the PSA 7, 8 and 9 T206s as an example because a lot of suspicious looking beauties made their way in to PSA holders before SGC was off and running in pre-war cards.

It's hand cut alright but it shouldn't be.

That's funny Jeff ,,I've never trimmed a card before,but I think I could do a better job than that

[FUBAR]

maybe the guy who trimmed it was on a "BENDER"

(ok this one is weak, but its the best i got)

Personally...I really don't like trimmed cards...I have 1 or 2 in my collection...but I plan to sell them soon. I'd much rather have a g-vg in presentable shape...than an ex-mt looking hack job...to each their own.
