Peter_SpaethAll "this card is definitely not trimmed" means is that Lew Lipset's opinion was that the card was not trimmed. It is not and cannot reasonably be construed as a guarantee that a third party will grade it, and the final price probably reflected that uncertainty. I do not think Lipset was under any obligation to take it back unless you could prove he KNEW the card was trimmed and misrepresented it, or unless you could somehow demonstrate OBJECTIVELY that it was trimmed. From what I have heard of him that sounds pretty unlikely. All that said, he could have been a bit more diplomatic in his post-auction conduct, he sounds awfully combative for a hobby icon.
