Todd (nolemmings)Just because your seller believes/advertises the cards to be trimmed does not mean you cannot have a good-faith, contrary opinion. That opinion, however, should be based upon informed experience and not wishful thinking. If I were Billingsley, I would have advertised them as short if I believed that, but would have made some mention that they were possibly trimmed, acquired from someone who sold them as trimmed, etc. If I had acquired them from someone other than Lipset or similar noted expert, I may not even include that language if I honestly believed they were not trimmed.
The guarantee is the important part. Seller should guarantee that item is authentic and unaltered, even if otherwise sold as is. Buyers can then have some assurance when bidding. Just my two cents.
P.S. I have had a few dealings with Mr. Billingsley, and always found him to be professional and a decent guy. Hopefully, this will work out acceptable to everyone involved. Peace.
