This is getting tiresome, Maybe it's just me? Another trimmed Plank?

Ok, My post about the Goodwin Plank has only helped the value so why not help Rob out a bit?

I am seriously starting wonder if maybe it is just me, but man I would bet my miserable life that the bottom of this Plank is hacked!

Look at the front bottom left corner, it looks like a roofing knife! One of those hook knives!

When you look at the back picture, the right edge is perfectly in line with the right plastic wall inside the slab, yet the bottom looks like a ski slope.

I don't know, maybe I am losing it. But maybe one other person will see what I am seeing so I know I am not crazy?

thanks

As I said before Dan....I dunno on this one (the other thread is obvious but Rob's description set them straight). If you look at the back of this card the bottom left is tilted up a bit and it looks like the top could correspond to it. I could be wrong.

And someone had mentioned in a previous thread about the bottom of a 1914 CJ, and I rebutted that '14s are paper thin, and that being the case, I bet it was a curvature to the card. Rob emailed me and said that was exactly correct.

I don't know...these days it seems any card in a PSA holder looks trimmed to me...I think a large % are..I try to avoid them!

I looked at the Cracker Jack Cobb, I don't see a trim job there. Like I said, I may just be losing my mind!

Two dimensional scans of three dimensional cards can be deceptive when there is bowing.

I see some space on the bottom left between your line and the card. I don't see any on the bottom right and none anywhere on the top.

In the description REA says the Mr. X designation was added to every T206 in the set, but T.J,. Schwartz said it was only applied to the Plank and Magie, so I wonder which is it?

Someone somewhere asked me what I thought of the Doyle card in REA? I saw that post before the site took a crap on me and I can't find it now so I am answering here.

I looked the magnificent Doyle card over and it looks fine to me.

My vote is not trimmed.
