HWIt looks like a 3 to me. I am suprised that it got a 4, especially since it was recently graded.
The T210 Jackson definitely looks trimmed to me. I have seen a fair number of 8th series cards before and I do not recall any having the uneven wavy borders that this card (or the balance of the lot) has. In fact, the couple of Jacksons that I have seen had much larger borders than this example.
It is interesting to note that Lipset writes that "There seems to be little question that the Series 7 cards...are the most difficult." He feels that the series 8 and 6 cards are the next most difficult. This would help explain the great rarity of the Jackson card.
I would still love to have either of these cards in my collection, especially the Ruth.
