Default Steve Novella's PSA 8 T206 Auctions--A Market Defining Event?

Posted By: Lee Behrens

Charlie, Did I mention trimming, NO. But I question the appearance of the cards measurements. Is it a good possibilty that the cards have been trimmed, yes. Are all trimmers smart enough to find oversized cards? If you can knowingly get cards past graders even if they are short, would you trim to clean up corners. If you so not think that there is some preferential treatment to some by PSA than you are really blind to what is going on. If you want to turn a blind eye to the shortness of the cards, go spend your money on them and be happy. I for one will not. You guys can defend this all you want but I know you want to get the best bang for your buck and getting a higher grade on a question card is no way of getting more money.

As far as T206 cards being short, when did this happen I have been around these cards for 25 years and handled at least 2000 of them and never seen any size difference. Make me as ignorant. There sure seems to be more of them in highgrade holders than in low grade, now why is this?

This is my Guiheen mini, not graded trimmed, but SML, minimum size not met.



Charlie, so you want me to give jay my name and password? It sure would be nice then the rest of you can continue to hear his rantings other than me.
