I am sorry you got your hopes up and they were dashed by a trimmed card. In the case of the Koufax, it seems strange that a VG+ card would be trimmed.

As a collector the first thing I do when a card arrives is measure it up, so as a seller I measure up each card before listing. However, I could see some sellers not catching a trim job on an off grade card. Then again, if this particular seller has noticed this with other 63 Fleer Koufax cards, he should have checked this and noted it in the listing.

In the scan, the Boyer card appears to be a factory miscut as the bottom appears miscut also. However, if you check the seller of the Boyer card's other selling ID, there is feedback indicating that trimmed cards have slipped through his quality controls in the past, even on some higher dollar cards.

In purchasing bulk lots of cards, I have come across several cards (in bulk) that all measure up short l/r. The edges appear to have no trimming. I have also received bulk lots of single cards that all measure up wider l/r. To me this is an indication that there were indeed factory miscuts and not trim jobs.

IMO, as a buyer, I would not send a negative if the seller takes care of the situation and leaves me whole (covers my return s/h also).
