PCThe T206 Matty looks real to me, but it is definitely trimmed (which is why it isn't in a PSA or SGC holder). No way this particular seller leaves thousands on the table by not getting it graded.
And that '55 Topps Snider auction speaks volumes about this seller. That auction was not a case of simply identifying it as a PSA 8 and trying to ignore the OC qualifier: the seller actively hyped that it was a 8 with a $14K SMR price. Clearly he was trying to slide it past as an 8, hoping the bidding would go a little higher because some bidders simply do not focus too closely on the scan. And it worked.
