There's a dealer that sets up at the Toronto Expo every year. He has amazing football and vintage baseball. Most of the stuff is raw and looks to be anywhere from a grade of 6 or more. Anyways, I bought a 52 Bowman Sammy Baugh a few years ago from him and sure enough, it came back from SCG as trimmed. $120 down the drain. In the spring, I went back to the guy's table and went through a ton of his stuff as a "possible buyer." Knowing what I know now (what to look for in trimmed cards), he had all sorts of trimmed stuff.
I didn't say anything. I'd like to but to me, the $120 hit was a great learning experience. I'll still buy unslabbed cards but I certainly know what to look for when it comes to ungraded material.
