Default Mastro's Broad Leaf 460 back trimmed?

Posted By: Rob

While people are arguing about whether this card has been trimmed(heck, it's obviously trimmed), why don't people take PSA & SGC ect to task for not fully labelling this card? Is it too much effort for PSA to put Broad Leaf 460 on the label?

And SGC is little better, as they will only put on the label Broad Leaf, not distinguishing between the 350 and the rare 460 back.

Coin collectors expect and get the mint mark, type, ect on the label of their graded coin, seems like early tobacco baseball cards deserve tthe same consideration. Likewise, if stamps are graded and labelled, you'd get the Scott's #, not a "1910 George Washington 2 cent stamp" for the description, as this would failing to distinguish between imperforate, coils, perforation size, shades ect of the stamp being graded.

BTW, the SGC population report is worthless for players with more than one card in the T206 set. For example, all you can tell from the SGC population report is that they've graded 370 Frank Chance cards. What's up with that? There's 3 different Frank Chance cards.
