Default An unfortunate incident

Posted By: leon

I pointed 4 main things out to the seller.

1. The card is 1/8th of an inch short left to right.
2. The card measures very unfavorably with another from the series.
3. It has a wavy cut to the right border.
4. The 2 right corners, as you look at the front, come to much more of a point than the other 2.

Your points further enhance my theory. He also pointed out that I said the same thing as BCD said about putting together a registry set and that he didn't care.....well, I don't care if he evers sells another card.....as always it is very caveat emptor in our little hobby......hope this can teach a little more about how to detect trim jobs. I am getting better all of the time.....regards all
ps...a pic of a card I don't mind being trimmed A scarce Baseball Bats -red background variety (thanks Dan)
