Most of the cards here were bought over the past year from COMC. Not too many misses.
Rather than paying $7 each to have the trimmed ones sent back to me raw, I had every card slabbed since I can use it in my Registry set as a filler until I get a graded one. Plus, it gives me something to inspect when I get back to get better at detecting alterations.
Others:
EXCELLENT-MINT 6 1950 Bowman 168 Bob Scheffing (just a good card)
VERY GOOD-EXCELLENT+ 4.5 1953 Topps 186 Charlie Bishop (GT collection)
AA: AUTHENTIC ALTERED 1953 Topps 1 Jackie Robinson
Bought raw from COMC, and will have to look at it once I get it back. It could be recolored or maybe trimmed on an edge. Still presents nicely and I will keep it.
VERY GOOD 3 1954 Topps 10 Jackie Robinson
Also bought raw from COMC in their Good to VG-EX bucket.
