He states, " I guarantee this card is original. I can't guarantee that it will grade with a third party grader or what grade it would receive if graded so bid accordingly."

Just wanted to be sure....thanks!!

It's hard to tell from the scans but I am going to guess that most are in fact trimmed. You might ask why I would say that. Because recently he sold a nice vg'ish raw 1934 DS Grove and here is his description:

"1934 Diamond Stars #1 Lefty Grove in poor condition. Back damage and and a light surface wrinkle. Presents well for condition. I have meticulously inspected and measured this card and guarantee it is original, unaltered, and will grade with any reputable grading company. Please bid with confidence as I pride myself on grading fairly. No unpleasant surprises and a liberal return policy if not satisfied. If a defect can't be seen in the scan I will have disclosed it in the above description. Shipping will be $3 and insurance is available for $3. Please fee free to view my feedback and e-mail me with any questions. Thanks for looking and Good Luck!"

Now, if he said all of that in that auction but not in the others I have to think there is a reason for it..Personally, I think he is hedging that folks will think they are (numerically) gradable....That's just a guess though..regards
