Default What do you guys think of this card??

I took a chance a few days ago on a Hank Aaron 1954 Topps Rookie card on ebay. It looks immaculate and the seller swears it wasn't trimmed. What do you guys think from the pics. Cost me almost $1300 bucks. Worth the risk? Curious to see if you guys think it was cut or not.

At this point send it in to PSA quickly and hope for the best. If you bought it on ebay and it doesn't check out you can file a not as described claim and get a refund. If it does check out you hit a homerun.

I do have my doubts though. The spelling error is not a good sign. If it was legit why didn't the seller grade it first? Even a centered 6 is a 3k card.

those were my exact thoughts at first. Then upon looking, he never really sold many cards and everything he sold was ungraded. My thinking was maybe he got into this before grading was a thing and is now selling them as he bought them or collected them. That is my hopes at least. But what scares me is the too good to be true thing. But then I think, HEY someone else was willing to go $1250 haha.

I might have taken the same gamble. Only one way to find out for sure now. Best of luck. Let us know own how it turns out.

A fool and his money are soon parted. If it looks too good to be true, it usually is. Sure, once in a while these things work out, but if it were me I would not gamble, neer mint or not. PS it looks short but that could be confirmation bias.
