Paul -- you've fallen in to the trap of trying to deal squarely with Ted. The mistake is made when someone expects Ted to be consistent in his views, opinions or the way he talks to or treats people. |

if you took that card out of that holder,i don't think anyone would grade it ex......i would imagine if it were cracked out and resubmitted (to psa)it would grade vg. imo |

Now that's just being silly. An OC T-206 card with mildly rounded corners would reasonably qualify for VG-EX, to be sure, but VG? C'mon now. |

that card has 3 mildly worn corners and 1 round corner. if it had 4 mildly worn corners i would agree it would grade ex (the oc is ok)but that 1 corner is round. maybe ted could scan just that corner,maybe it's not as round as i think it appears. |

Barry -- I disagree. I don't think any cheap shot was thrown here. I've had run-ins with Ted on this forum before on at least two prior occassions. Nothing new here. And I do not think there's anything controversial going on in this thread that requires posting differently, unless the mods tell me otherwise. |

Just for the other readers here, they should know that this card was identified to you as rejected by SGC for trimming along the top prior to making our deal. That was why I traded it for the beater I got in return from you. I even said it was a tough call for me to make when I purchased it in a group of other T206 cards, but I thought I'd pay the $8 and let SGC confirm that it was trimmed. |

Ted- SGC published a detailed article about card trimming in their recent collector magazine, and measurement is just one test they use. They also study the edges of the card, to see if they appear to be original. A card cut in the factory will have a kind of convex edge (if that's the right term) that can't be duplicated by an amateur. While I found the article fascinating, I'm not sure I could identify an original edge every time. You need good magnification, good eyesight, and some practice. |

....is also that the card was trimmed. SGC only confirmed my opinion. These are only two opinions. But if you'd like to consider it not trimmed, that's cool, too. I am not sure why someone would trim a VG Durham with rounded corners. It doesn't seem to make much sense. |

Ted- you hit on the most important point, and that is how will the grading services improve to the level that they are virtually right every time (no one can expect perfection). At this stage there is simply too much inconsistency in the whole system. |

I believe that many collectors are uncertain regarding card authentication and trimming identification without outside help. And this is the portion of the grading company's service which is most valued. |
