I have one or two OJs in TPG holders that have the bottom trimmed off with an assigned numerical grade. For the most part, I usually don't collect the OJs in this condition, but since the price was right I purchased them.
It'd be nice if the TPGs made a few less errors. I used to save the pictures of really poor TPG grading errors. Maybe we'll start a thread some day and have people post pictures of the TPG errors they've come across.

I'm with you Fred, I don't normally collect trimmed OJs, but do have some since at the end of the day, they are still OJs. LOL And also like you, have seen some that should not have been given numeric grades due to being trimmed, but got one anyway. Hard to not pick them up, regardless of such issues, when as you said, "the price was right". My personal favorite OJs are the ones that are severely downgraded because of some damage, scrapbook glue/residue, or even writing, on their blank backs. If there was ever a set that the mantra "Buy the card and not the holder." applied to, it is the N172 OJ set IMO.
