Back in the late 90s I bought an Old Judge card from Terry Knouse (TIK) and Hi Terry if you are reading, at the National. I wanted to try this new thing out called grading and walked it over to PSA to take advantage of a 10.00 show special. They said it had been trimmed, even though it measured up. I went back to Terry with the card and he walked the card back to PSA and informed them all Old Judges were hand collated and it’s needs to be graded. They said, yes sir you are right and proceeded to grade it. I think they referred to him on 19th century items back then.
Anyways, I agree if pedigree comes from a players family it’s better than just being out of a collectors collection. With that said, if I knew the collector, I wouldn’t mind having it as a cool little keepsake.
