	Ok first off I have a 62 Mantle in nice shape but has writting on it in pen, looks like a signature avg. size. How would the grading companies penalize the card for this, and do they generally penalize the same for this? I saw this Keeler card(linked below) and it seems to be obviously trimmed(the seller even told me he thinks it is when i asked). Pro still graded the card an 8??? Isnt this a bit of a steep price to pay for a trimmed card of this nature even in nice shape?  |

	Thats the thing, PRO graded it an 8, if it was graded an 8 by one of the big three, the price for the Keeler would be astronomical. I would be willing to bet that card is trimmed, and it wouldn't grade at all with any of the big three, other than maybe an "authentic", "evd of trimming"  |
