Posted By: <b>Judge Dred</b><p>I wondered the exact same thing. What's wrong with it? The top corners appear to be razor sharp. The grade does seem a bit generous since the bottom corners appear to exhibit a little rounding and it looks a bit narrow and maybe even a little short. But then again it is a scan on ebay and without closer examination (in person) one would have to give the benefit of the doubt that this card is in NM/MT condition!!!

Posted By: <b>David Vargha</b><p>Vintage cards in PRO holders have a 99.9%+ chance of being trimmed. Brian's point is that the cards have their value destroyed and are thus worth less than the cost of the grading. It really is a shame that nice, mid-grade cards are destroyed in such a fashion when there is a real market for them.<br><br>DavidVargha@hotmail.com

Posted By: <b>Judge Dred</b><p>But it looks so nice in that PRO holder!!! I bet it may have a chance of crossing over to a GAI AUTHENTIC.

Posted By: <b>warshawlaw</b><p>that's the point of the <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />It is obvious from even the smallish scan that the card was trimmed down to sharpen it. <br /><br />I too like the seller's response. Must have missed the idiotmobile this a.m.
