All the 48/49 Leaf sets have been literally butchered. If you have them in slabs and you care, you really ought to research them if you haven't already.

Oh I believe you I was trying to be funny haha

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

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.

Those guys are great. I made my largest purchase last year. After doing my own research prior I reached out to one of them for a 2nd opinion. I didn’t expect a response but within an hour had a well researched corroboration of my own conclusions. For those of us that care they’re providing an invaluable service for this hobby.

I check there before I make any new purchase. You can search PSA cert numbers in the main forum to see if they turn up in the numerous trim threads.

It's sad that it's just more or less, expected nowadays. How many graded cards have been trimmed or altered in some way? More than anyone can count.

And sure, we're the section of the hobby that cares about it, we don't want to see it happen. But to the masses? I don't think it matters to half of them and the other half probably believes that a major grading company gets it write and wouldn't slab trimmed cards with a number grade.

Dang! I had hopes to eventually pick some up of Reds players. It's really sad, all I can say.

Dang. Glad I don't own any 48 Leafs any more.

Look how far back this goes. And which set is next.

Does one now get a prize for compiling a complete set of proven altered cards?
