Default CJ Bresnahan

Posted By: runscott

I almost bid on this card, but the seller provided extremely detailed scans, which stopped me. Am I wrong about this card being trimmed?

I had a "NM" CJ Reulbach that I sent to SGC and it was returned as trimmed. I suspected as much - CJ's are printed on very thin paper. Fortunately there is very little variance in size so it's fairly easy to identify trimming just by measuring. The Reulbach was thin; otherwise, I couldn't have spotted the trim. This Bresnahan is straight on the right side, but veers up on the left - it's easy to see on the front as well. Maybe it's an optical illusion? In any case, I've trimmed off the slabber's i.d. at the top so no one will have any idea who the grading company was...duh.
