Picked these up recently. I like to keep cards in binders, so before I bust these out of their holders what do you think? I think they are trimmed (they measure shorter than my other T213-2s AND the edges LOOK trimmed) but the images are so nice I'm hoping someone will tell me that SGC knows what they are talking about and I'm just an uneducated moron :p

Thanks for your opinions,
Rob

If they got a grade, SGC doesn't think they're trimmed. Looking at the scans I'd be more curious as to why they graded that low!!

The Magee has single vertical crease that spans the height of the card, and the Merkle has two of them. Easier to see in person. I love the cards, just that they are shorter than every T213-2 I have (a dozen or 15).

Thanks for the opinions!

I have about half the set graded and ungraded and they vary greatly in size. Until recently, they were not worth very much money. They look OK to me, fwiw.

Yep. I have about a third of the set. A lot of them are short, off center, miscut. Quality control worse than T206 I'd say.

They are beautiful cards. There are some "unstraight" borders that would make me suspicious. If you are just going to keep them in your collection, do it and don't worry about it. If you bust them, keep the flips.

These two cards just arrived. Thanks PWCC (Buffalo) and JeffL (Chicago).

As you can see there is quite a bit of difference on the top border. I do not believe the Buffalo card is trimmed. It was just a factory miscut.
