Default What am I missing as to why this trimmed card has such action?

Posted By: Anonymous

One possibility is that someone may think that the card is not from the V100 Willards. This card, however, is in fact from the Willards set.

To elaborate on my point, a little over a year ago a dealer put up five cards on eBay (Bob Meusel, George Burns of the National League, Dickie Kerr, Everett Scott and Jake Daubert) listing them as trimmed Willards. I won all five and was able to prove that they were not Willards, but Shapira Big Show Candy cards because of the trademark. Also, the pictures did not appear in the Willards set. The trademark on these was Underwood and Underwood, which appears on Shapira Big Show Candy cards and Fleischmann Bakery cards among some other sets. Willards have the trademark of International.

Maybe somebody thinks they are trying to pickup a bargain.
