Trimmed PSA card on Ebay?
 
Posted By: <b>Dave</b><p>Check out this item:<BR><BR><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2773458281&category=31 718" target=_new>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2773458281&category=31 718</a><BR><BR>The photo has the ratio of 525/1000, by my measurement. A true size T206 should have the ratio of 548/1000. Is this just an abberation of the photo? Or, is it possible that PSA may have rated a trimmed card?

Posted By: <b>MW</b><p>Dave,<BR><BR>At first glance the card appears to be undersized, but believe it not, American Beauty brand T206s are known for their narrow borders.

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>AB's are notorious for being narrow. This car is more than likely just fine. Fine a trimmed t206 in a PSA holder is not all that uncommon anymore.<BR><BR>Jay

Posted By: <b>runscott</b><p>If you think a card might be trimmed, try to imagine what the card would have looked like before the suspected border was down-sized - would there have been any incentive to trim it?<BR><BR>In this case, why trim the left side or bottom? - either case would result in a grossly off-centered card. This one is almost certainly just a bad factory cut.

Posted By: <b>Wonkaticket</b><p>American Beauty cards are almost always slimmer due to the fact that the packaging was smaller and slimmer as well. I have quite a few AB's almost all of them are smaller than other branded back T206's.<BR><BR>
