Default Is this a joke? Was this card graded on April 1st?

Posted By: Bill K@sel

Josh,

It's actually a very good question. Once I received the card I took a caliper and measured the overall height & width (short on both), I then measured the the card edge to the frame of the picture. The gap between the two at the top right corner vs. the top left is off (angle cut, that doesn't follow suit on tht bottom.) The entire left edge appears trimmed. While it is straight, the corners on top and bottom "bat ear" or flare up a bit which is a telltale sign of trimming.

It is much easier to see in person. As much as they always preach it here "Buy the card, not the grade or holder", it can't be said enough. If this wasn't in a PSA holder I never would have bid. Fool me once (happened to me before) shame on you, fool me twice (this card) shame on PSA....I mean me.....no, I do mean PSA.

Bill
