Default Can trimmed cards in high grades be statistically proven?

Posted By: Frank Wakefield

The thing to measure is the size of the image, frame line to frame line.


Think about the old days, a rolling pin in the kitchen, rolling out pie dough...


Some cards have been soaked, rolled and flattened out, soaked again, rolled again, on and on... Then, the card is trimmed back down close to the normal outer dimensions. And there they have a trimmed, doctored card. To me, it is acceptable to soak a T206 to free a piece of a scrapbook, or some tobacco specs. But not for stretching...

So don't just measure the outer dimensions, check out the image.
