POLL: Trimmed Card Prices
 

Posted By: <b>Jay Miller</b><p>My guess would be $100K for the trimmed, but nice, Anson in Uniform. This assumes a noticeable trim but not one that removes the bottom ad. I base this on the fact that the Anson in Uniform is more valuable than the T210 Jackson and the REA Jackson sold for almost $100K while only being graded authentic.

Posted By: <b>Hal Lewis</b><p>Fair enough.<br /><br />But remember...there was some "debate" about whether or not the T210 Jackson was trimmed or not. The buyer obviously believes that it was not -- that it was only a "wavy handcut" done at the factory.<br /><br />In my example... while the trimming is so minor that it does not affect the image and none of the words are missing on the Anson... it is UNDENIABLY trimmed.<br /><br />I may be wrong, but I do not think the T210 Jackson would have gone for so much if the side borders had been cut a little bit closer to the photo so that nobody could deny that it had been trimmed.<br /><br />Or maybe the top corners had been snipped ever so slightly to put it into an album holder.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Scott Elkins</b><p>Cy Young Just So - $2Million (just so the trimmed and questionable Wagner wouldn't be the most expensive card any longer).<br /><br />I would also want a Cobb Back. However, I have always liked the PSA 2 with "J.H." on the reverse. I would just find out who owns that one and make them an offer they couldn't refuse!

Posted By: <b>identify7</b><p>Does it matter pricewise if the trimming is intended to be deceptive in an attempt to defraud a buyer, or the trimming is done for other reasons?<br /><br />Are pinholes worse than trimming? How about professionally filled pinholes, which fool the grading services 100% of the time; but the seller admits to.

Posted By: <b>Hal Lewis</b><p>The trimming is such that NOBODY could ever unslab the card and sell it as untrimmed.

Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>1) A fairly nice VG-EX T206 Honus Wagner $125k<br />2) A fairly nice VG-EX T206 Ty Cobb w/Ty Cobb back card $50-75k<br />3) A fairly nice VG-EX T206 Plank $10k<br />4) A fairly nice VG-EX 1914 Babe Ruth Baltimore News $75k<br />5) A fairly nice VG-EX 1893 "Just So" Cy Young D don't know.<br />6) A fairly nice VG-EX 1903 E107 Breisch Williams Christy Mathewson card Don't know.<br /><br />I would guess Hal is in the ballpark for hypothetical Mint 9 Wagner with impeccable provenace. The first time out of the block I would guess 3-5 million and continue to go up from there. The questions around the 8 have not hurt it at all, or so it seems.<br /><br />JimB

Posted By: <b>Hal Lewis</b><p>Julie:<br /><br />You and I are on the same page with the 1914 CJ Matty.<br /><br />If you could find one that was in MINT condition but slightly trimmed...<br /><br />it would be the BEST CONDITIONED example of this particular card in the world since most of them have caramel stains, etc.<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>JimCrandell</b><p>Ugh, I never would buy a trimmed card. The only way I would buy any of these is if I knew I had a buyer on the other end and I could get rid of it in under an hour.<br /><br />Jim

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>Funny as such a staunch PSA supporter, you are not concerned about "SLIGHTLY" trimmed cards being slabbed in your collection.

Posted By: <b>JimCrandell</b><p>I am concerned--thats why I asked a couple of experts to review my cards.<br /><br />I realize that there are altered cards that are slabbed.<br /><br />Jim
