Default $80 Down the Drain / I Knew Better
Posted By: Bob

Matt- If it makes you feel better I'll throw in my 2 cents worth on the side of "not trimmed." The reason I think it is not trimmed is because of the wear on the top edge and more importantly the fact that GAI is very tough on cards with trimmed top borders. I have bought several that I thought were fine and they were bounced for trimming of the top border. GAI may be a little generous when it comes to back paper loss but they are pretty tough when it comes to trimming. I think it is ok. I have a complete set of T205s so I have seen a lot of these cards in the past when putting it together. I know GAI doesn't get the support of SGC or even PSA but, again, I think the one area they are very tough on is alteration, whether it be trimming or color addition so I wouldn't feel too bad about this card.
