Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>#1- is the SGC 30. The appeal of the set to me is the beautiful colors & designs. This one has a better surface/colors than the PSA 2.<br /><br />#2- see above.<br /><br />#3- I try not to buy anything trimmed. If there are un-altered examples out there, then I just try to avoid the trimmed cards.

Posted By: <b>Geno</b><p>I suppose the obvious answer is that the trimmed one is worth more - by more than double. Market forces have given the answer. Now if you want to know which is worth more TO ME...then the answer is the same as the previous post. There's just something about the trimmed one that makes me cringe that somebody would cut up an old card to trick others...

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>The trimmed Johnson has no bids, so the market has not determined the outcome yet.<br /><br /><br /><br />edited for spelling.

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>But a semi-common trimmed card is not going to be worth more than an untrimmed one in acceptable grade. Most would prefer a nice SGC 30 T205 than a trimmed one. regards

Posted By: <b>Geno</b><p>You're exactly right - I looked too quick and just assumed that that was a final bid price! So maybe there is some sanity in the world...

Posted By: <b>Julie</b><p>The trimmed card has been discussed before (perhaps in chatroom), when it was first posted with the high reserve. I think people weighed in on both sides of the high reserve.
