Julie Vognarwas one with a small piece of the emulsion turned back upon itself in one (lower) corner; no print was affected; I found it disfiguring, because it affected the picture.
Many of my OJs have chipped borders; I doubt that I could get them for $300 or $600, or whatever. Just show me a Sam Thompson with a chipped border you got for 3 or 6 hundred dollars!
The people who have charged me lower prices have done so because the IMAGE was pale, or somewhat soft in focus. Or, in one case, there was an actual scuff on the face of the card.
As for the slightly miscut cards (slope on top or bottom edge), or drastically miscut (Galvin with one batwing), I have TRIED to get cheaper prices, but seller wasn't interested. These cards were obvioudsly miscut at the factory--or wherever they cut Old Judges--since one of the grading companies put a "4" on one. One was so expensive, I was afraid to mention the slight slope on the bottom border for fear I'd hear what it would have cost WITHOUT the slope!
