Default Buying Raw cards from Oldtime Dealers

Steve, are you pickin' on me again, LOL! While I realize what I said seems like common sense, I think a lot of collectors have lost common sense. I know you ripped me for not spotting all of the "flaws" on my Gwynn card, but in all honesty those flaws just didn't matter to me one bit. It looked like a great card to me. That's all that matters. I'm at peace with my Ruth now as well. My old man was an engineer and frequently had to measure things to EXACT specifications. He got out his tool kit and measured my Ruth and it was spot on as far as the size. I'm positive in my mind that it was not trimmed. I'm going to leave it in it's GAI holder for what it's worth and just enjoy it. It looks good next to Hack Wilson and Gavvy Cravath.
