Gambling For T205s

I just BINed an ASA graded Ex-Mt T205 Fred Clarke (the reason is that it was Cycle back).

The seller is "AHCollectibles" in Florida which I would surmise is Alan Hager's Ebay handle. Just wondered what the wisdom of this board is about this purchase.

Heads or tails?

You take your chances with ASA graded cards. Could be a heck of a deal, could be a typically trimmed card. I held off on BINing a couple of his based on his past track record. I bought some cards from him in the 80's which were UNgraded and appeared very nice but I know of others who tell horror stories about AH. The ASA grade means absolutely nothing. The card you purchased, however, looks fine to me.

I don't agree. The card (T205) looks small top to bottom. I compared it to other T205s in my collection (including several Cycle backs) and there's a definite difference in size.

I have a Clarke Cycle back; this one looks short.
