The top looks a little strange for this card. What do you think. The seller has 21,000 item listed with 99% positive feedback.

No one should ever buy a high grade card in a PRO holder unless you want a trimmed or altered card. Period.

This seller has a reputation for buying books and selling those books page by page - as if they were important documents. He also does the same things with pictures of baseball players, often cutting them out of the printed material and putting them in plastic holders with a grade assigned to the cut out picture.

Some purchasers think that the resultant slabbed, cut out picture is a legitimate collectible. It is not currently considered as such by mainstream collection thinking. I do not think that book cut outs will ever be considered by most as collectibles.

As far as other items offered by this seller, if slabbed goods are guaranteed to be crossed over to PSA, then they may have merit. But I do not think that such a guarantee will be offered by him.

Of course. It came off an SI sheet. No other way to get it other than by trimming it.
