Now I know as a new member I'm pushing my luck by opening 2 threads in a day, but with that said let me assure everyone I understand board etiquite even if I'm not sure how to spell it. So on to the question...

Are these seller's cards likely trimmed?

I didn't know where else to go without losing the certainty of accuracy.
Thanks again,

Edited to spell assure correctly. And I was worried about ettiquite....

Some cards looks suspect to trimming, I would not bid on them if I were you....I'm not bidding on them....

Avoid private auctions, where the bidders' identities are hidden. Commonly used by scammers and shillers.

For what it's worth, below is my 'Beginner's Tips' for baseball card collectors.

Wow I didn't even notice the private bidding status. Thanks. As to the link, I think with the 2 threads I've started today this board has mentioned EVERY ONE of the 10 rules! Thats top notch stuff.

...raw T206 cards with sharp corners on ebay -- or place a bid with anonymous bidders. I would bet these are trimmed.

Eric,
Cycleback has a number of documents out there that are very helpful that
you may wish to check out.
I bought a snodgrass batting from the fellow in question and it turned out
to be a fine transaction. Admittedly, that ebay auction didn't have this
privacy thing going on. With respect to these cards, I can't tell much
from the scans 'tho the corner perfection is a wee bit odd somehow. Perhaps
I'm just not used to such corners anymore.

With regard to the spelling of etiquette, i notice that you spell it 2 different ways on the post--Barry Sloate may come calling soon.

welcome aboard, Eric. your genuine gratitude for the help of this board
is kind and refreshing.

Aha! I knew there were 3 t's in etiquette! The fact that it was the second one that was doubled and not the 1st...minor detail. And the i for an e...ya.. "quite" being included in etiquette didn't look quite right but what can I say? Mr. Sloate?
Glad to be here,

-Eric

If they were not trimmed, which is highly unlikely, why would the seller put them on eBay without getting them graded. He's leaving way too much money on the table ...
