grade with cut corner on Rudolph, Toronto?
 

Posted By: <b>willygreg1</b><p>I bought the following card on ebay last week and was curious about how the grade was affected by the cut to the cards upper left corner. <BR><BR><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4126945197&category=31 719&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBWN%3AIT&rd=1" target=_new>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4126945197&category=31 719&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBWN%3AIT&rd=1</a><BR><BR>The seller advertised it fairly and it seemed like $25 was a pretty good price for a card that is overall very strong. <BR><BR>The card is otherwise in great shape and appears to be comparable to some PSA 4s and even 5s that I have. Could this still grade in the VG/EX or possibly EX range?

Posted By: <b>slacks</b><p>After a listing in eBay, it appears that it's worth about...$24.50! If the cut doesn't bother you, great - but basically you have a nice $25 card. <BR><BR>PSA has graded worse cards than this a 4 but it doesn't earn the technical grade, you you'd be risking more $ by sending it in.<BR><BR>Hard to tell from the picture, but my opinion is that the the card looks a little too narrow, left to right as well.<BR><BR>

Posted By: <b>willygreg1</b><p>I checked it against some of my other cards and it is more narrow than my others. The edges are relatively clean under a loop. Do you think it could have been trimmed or is it common to have slight variations in size? The height is consistent with my other cards.
