T206 460 Broadleaf on eBay
 
Posted By: <b>Pete Z.</b><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5210482709&rd=1&sspage name=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5210482709&rd=1&sspage name=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1</a><br /><br />I know this is an ultra-rare back, but it looks short, left-to-right, to me. Were Broadleaf 460's originally cut narrow (by hand, like American Beauty), or did the card (just barely) meet the minimum width of GAI?<br />Thanks in advance,<br />Pete <br />

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>The T206 cards with Broadleaf backs that I have are full size<br />T-type cards. Like you noted, the American Beauty backs are <br />the only narrow-cut T206s. By comparing mine with this one,<br />close observation shows that the Broadleaf right border design<br />line is too close to the the right edge of this card, while<br />otherwise, the "Broadleaf" design appears to be well-centered<br />on the back of this card.<br /><br />My opinion: this card should've been rejected due to "evidence<br />of trimmed". Most of these grading people are pretty liberal<br />with this term, so I'm really surprised that GAI even graded<br />this card. <br />
