Posted By: <b>Anson</b><p>The scan looks a little deep in contrast but I'm awfully concerned about the potential trim. The seller claims that it's not. However, his feedback is far from great and I can't imagine why he wouldn't grade<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/Christy-Mathewson-T-206-White-Cap-RARE-1909-T206-1910_W0QQitemZ8744582093QQcategoryZ86840QQssPageNa meZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/Christy-Mathewson-T-206-White-Cap-RARE-1909-T206-1910_W0QQitemZ8744582093QQcategoryZ86840QQssPageNa meZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a>

Posted By: <b>Anson</b><p>Brian, my monitor doesn't have very good resolution so I couldn't really make out the bottom edge. The top looked trimmed to me, though.<br /><br />Peter already emailed me with the same assessment. I didn't even check to see if it was getting shilled, simply because it looked chopped. <br /><br />Good points

Posted By: <b>bigfish</b><p>the card is clearly trimmed. all grading companies will agree leaving the buyer with a lump of coal. Stay clear of this one

Posted By: <b>CN</b><p> Card looks like it is probably trimmed. Since it is not graded be safe and stay away from this one.

Posted By: <b>B.C.Daniels</b><p>re-read my first response. It's not an implication of shilling but an assesment of who is and is not bidding on it. Do you recognize any of the bidders?<br /><br />And the BOTTOM border is trimmed to accent the top and distract.

Posted By: <b>Anson</b><p>Brian, I did understand your point. I do gauge the validity of many auctions by the folks who bid on them. But, in most cases, I trust my own judgement too. This particular card did not show up well on my screen. I have an old monitor that really needs to be replaced. <br /><br />

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>I miss Fry's. There is nothing comperable anywhere in MN. The place is create for computer components and electronics in general. They also had the best selection of DVDs anywhere.<br /><br />Jay<br><br>I've just reached Upper Lower Class. I am now officially a babe magnet for poor chicks.

Posted By: <b>jackgoodman</b><p>Not to hijack an already hijacked thread - but I went into a Fry's once. Saw 100 sales people - but only one person at the "returns" counter. Immediately walked out.

Posted By: <b>pete</b><p>Trimmed! seller obviously isnt a grader (and doesnt pretend to be) but he is obviously a dealer/collector and knows about grading companies. he would and did expect it to receive a " 5 " but it came back trimmed. that's why he doesnt offer a refund anywhere...<br /><br />the bonus' he offers are a (legal?) scam to get unsuspecting bidders to raise the bid to help re-coop his loss...for someone who doesnt care whether its trimmed or not fine, but not me at that price<br />
