Posted By: <b>scott brockelman</b><p>what exactly looks suspect about it? this is THE same card as lot 203 from the copeland auction, don't look at the plate in the catalogue, it's cropped too tight. on the back page and better photo is available, although partially obscured by a world series press pin. it hasn't changed since 1991. <BR><BR>scott

Posted By: <b>runscott</b><p>I've noticed this about t206's in PSA7 holders - many of them seem to look short, especially the HOF'ers and rare cards.

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>The top boarder certainly does look suspect and sure is a nice stain on the back. Didn't know you could get a NM great with a big, fat stain?<BR><BR>Jay

Posted By: <b>TBob</b><p>NM on card with a big stain on the back? It all depends on who is submitting the card. If it were you or I, it would be a PSA 5.

Posted By: <b>runscott</b><p>I don't see why the fact that it was in the '91 Copeland auction would mean it wasn't trimmed - the famous t206 Wagner was chopped down to size prior to that, so it's not like the folks at PSA hadn't learned their trade by then.
