Have to out this.
So, earlier in April I sold the attached card to a gentleman in Maine. He obviously turned around quickly to have it graded at Beckett after......well....look at the eBay listing or the third and fourth attachments after the first two.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/26679012612...3Avlp_homepage In addition to that I have received an offer through eBay to purchase the card from the same gentleman in the same town for $4200.00 instead of $4500.00. Incredible.

The before picture is infinitely more appealing.

Just why?
Some people have the most illogical ideas.

That might be the worst alteration I've ever seen. At least this person's work is highly unlikely to fool anyone.

I don't necessarily have a problem with someone taking an altered card (though not sure the original version exactly fits that criteria) and making it a more appealing altered card, but I really do not understand how someone could do such a terrible job trimming a card in this day and age.
The original corners and edges, except the one, were quite appealing anyway, would have looked totally great slabbed like that...if it had to be slabbed. Oh well, some people.

yikes
Maybe he thought it was a strip card? I can just imagine him hacking away , looking at the card and saying.... hmm maybe just a wee bit more?? 30 minutes later OH CRAP!!!!! This is where he wished he could jump into his DeLorean and go back in time....... seriously, that is about the best card Ive ever seen totally butchered and its a damn shame.

I was wondering why that second-to-last option only got an 82% opprobrium rate: https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=347578
Interesting to look at the posters on that thread, too.

He probably wanted to trim that gash out of the right side...and if I'm being honest, that looked horrible, regardless of what type of "originalist" you are.
....and then he realized the card looked off-center, sparking some sort of OCD reaction in his brain from which he couldn't help himself. Don't think it was anything nefarious. Just a little misguided maybe.

Geez...at least you have a scan of what the card originally looked like.
Buyers from the state of Maine should legally be restricted from purchasing this example. Brian Last edited by brianp-beme; 04-30-2024 at 03:27 PM.

The richest part is this thread he started in January basically shaking his head at all the bad alterations out there.
https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=344755 I swear you can’t make this shit up.

truly, I genuinely like the earned wear of age including a missing chunk here and there occasionally. I have to take the other side and say that the original card was leaps and bounds better looking than a trim...even if done with a paper cutter as some border is certainly better than none.
