My first car was a brown '71 Pinto. My brother totalled it (maybe $400) when I went off to boot camp....back in '79. That's a whole nuther story though. At any rate just to be a little opposition here I did tell one of the guys at SGC about a card with an issue. We both looked at a scan of it on ebay, in their slab, and he agreed it looked suspicious. I know it was suspicious because I had returned it to the ebay seller a few months earlier...raw, and in my opinion definitely trimmed. It was wavy, short, two corners were sharp and 2 were fuzzy..(all of the makings) The starting bid was about $275 (it was a Marquard T213 type 1) and he said it was too much so they wouldn't want to buy it. I should have said something at the time but I didn't. So I was to blame a little for not raising more stink about it. This was about a year ago....No one's perfect..And SGC is still my authenticator when I send them in.....regards
