Charlie BarokasHow do you know who is trimming cards? Anyone who's submissions to grading companies have 80% "9's" 10% "9.5's/10's" and 5% no grade and 5% 7. Mint and Gem Mint cards used to be scarce, but now they are growing on trees. Did Mr. Mint (the Boards favorite guy) find a bunch of uncirculated cards recently because that's what a Mint or a Gem Mint card is" uncirculated. I have talked with 30 Year hobby veterans and they are still looking for one uncirculated hobby find. Its amazing how some dealers find them every couple of weeks.
A card soaked out of an album can only become a "9" one way, soaking is not the problem. "Rototrim" is the problem, for those interested Google it. Instead of trying to find out who has a "Rototrim" find someone with nothing buy 8.5 or above inventory, that is updated weekly.
