But Barry...

isn't SOME warning on the label BETTER than none?

If Andy put this in a screw-down holder and sold it to some unknowing soul...

then there would be NOTHING to warn the buyer.

Granted, someone could very well buy this from Andy and REMOVE it from the slab and pull such a stunt...

but at least Andy has shown that it will NOT happen during his ownership of the card.

-----------------------

What would be wrong with PSA "slabbing" trimmed cards and LABELING them as such???

Wouldn't that be BETTER than having a bunch of PRO graded trimmed cards out there???

Wouldn't it show us who the TRULY REPUTABLE dealers are??

I know that I would have HUGE RESPECT for a dealer who sold me a card slabbed by PSA as "trimmed"...

because he could just as well have sold the card raw and tried to "bluff" his way around the fact that it was trimmed.

If people want to PAY for the protection of a slab for a TRIMMED card... and for the "authentication" that comes with it...

then I am all for it.
