Default The never ending vagueness of ebay

Posted By: Vognar Julie

The top edge is much cleaner than the bottom edge, so it might indeed be trimmed, but unless the owner knows the card was trimmed, I think he might have his doubts. Aside from that, the surface looks like it's been rubbed with sandpaper.

I'm sure both owners (Lew and present seller)measured the card, so it must be short. But short doesn't necessarily mean trimmed.

I once bid on a T3 that had been returned to Mastronet because it was 1/16th of an inch short, and 1/16th of an inch narrow. Keeler, ex-mint. Beautiful card, and wear looks even and slight all over border. Mastronet, the second time they presented the card, admitted it had been returned, and the slightly small size; they also swore up and down that it had NOT been trimmed. Against advice, I bid on it and won it. Sure am glad I did.
