"Buy the card, Not Flip!"
A lil ways back, Sumone suggested this to me!
This Started back when PSA Slabbed the PSA 8 Wagner.
i wonder why!?!?
i've purchased Numerical Graded Cards Knowing thay were Trimmed, Altered etc...
i've had Cards Reviewed wit an "A" that were given a Number!
If we All Honestly went through Our Collections and thought about how the Hobby has changed in the past 20 years ...
a whole mess of us would find at least one card that could fall inta the Same Category as the OP's Possibly Trimmed(maybe not Trimmed?) Slabbed Thought!
in Ending... if it were me that Sold You the Card!? ...
i would take it Back... if it was Prewar!!!
