I hope I didn't come off as accusatory. You certainly know more about this kinda stuff. I am merely looking to learn. Steve

Steve, good ole buddy
No, problem....your question was as good as any other here. I'm beginning to think that I've been in this hobby too long.
It is not a fun hobby when a certain type of "paranoia" sets in. Was it trimmed.....was it soaked.....or, whatever type of
alteration has a card been subjected to ?
Sometimes, I yearn for those days (circa 1980) when an Ex raw T206 common sold for $5. Or, a T206 red Cobb could be
acquired for $15.
There was really none of this "paranoia" in this hobby going on. Certainly, not to the extent that is prevalent nowadays.
Best regards, Steve
