Trimmed/Cut Baseball Cards

[EddieRebel]

Looking for some info in Trimmed Baseball Cards & Value. I have some Trimmed/Cut 1955 Topps Baseball Cards. They are Nicely Framed & Matted. I know that trimmed/cut commons are worthless but these are an excellent group of highly collectible cards and they are all trimmed/cut. They have been looked at and considered authentic. Other than being Trimmed/Cut they are in High Grade condition. Just wanted to know if there is a Market for trimmed Cards & What these might be worth. Have pictures in the frame and out.

I buy these type of cards because condition is not important to me. I usually pay around 10% of what they would cost if not trimmed.

Nice looking display!

I think the full display might be worth more intact as opposed to separate cards. It looks very nice. Regardless of that the cards have good value. It's hard to determine unless you let them go to a well publicized auction. Otherwise, you can see what they book for and go from there. I think they will be more valuable than some beater cards that would grade a 1.

Thanx Everyone for your input on these cards. This is quite a unique group of cards. Its rather amazing the Higher grades on such highly sought after cards. A Few have light creases that would bring them to a grade 4 or 5. The Koufax Rookie card looks to Be Flawless. If not Trimmed my opinion is that it could have possibly graded an 8 or above! Whoever trimmed/Cut these, threw away Thousands of Dollars. I am planning on selling these and will keep them in the nice display. I will probably see what the value of these would be if not trimmed and come up with an asking price based on that. Also have 3 that came with the group (For a total of 12 Cards) that can be interchanged with the others in the frame: Willie Mays, Duke Snider, & Ken Boyer. These are also Trimmed/Cut. These 12 Cards are all trimmed at the ends. The tops & Bottoms are not. That is still a regulation 2-5/8" wide. The Cards in the frame are not glued or taped but sandwiched between Construction paper to hold them in place.
Thanx again,
Eddie Rebel

If you sell the Ted Williams separate I would be interested in it.
