Gem Gehrig @ Heritage

[Scocs]

I try not to be too idealistic, but at the same time I try not to be too cynical either.

Look, this 1934 Goudey Gehrig looks nicer than half the cards you pull out of a brand new minty fresh 2015 pack. That is almost inconceivable.

Maybe that is why this card is so special. One of a kind.

Still, if the borders on the card had been initially "generous" and someone (owner) trimmed all the edges with an X-acto knife, wouldn't it be relatively easy to determine this by SGC? The card was most likely graded within the past five years, correct -- not during the first few years of the company's existence. They had that kind of oversight on a card of this magnitude if it is indeed trimmed?!

Are we then to believe that this is a repeat of the infamous Mastro/PSA collusion with the NM-MT T206 Wagner? SGC and owner conspiring to alter card and grade it as gem mint?

Does anyone really know the story behind this card? Did it come from a Goudey find much like the Black Swamp find that gave us mint condition cards from 1910?
