Wouldn't buy a Harris card...not even with someone else's money. Just my opinion, but I would not even consider it.

Frankly, same goes for a Nagy card. Way, way too many known to be trimmed.

Blair- this thread on Net54 has really made me look hard at alot of cards. There are several cards that look very short top to bottom. Not really sure what is going to win out here, buying the card or the holder....

Makes you wonder, when it was slabbed, didn't anyone at the company see it swimming around and go, "Hmmm." Seems like borderline incompetence, actually. Unless of course there is some natural deviation in either the cards' size to that degree, or in the manufactured slab, which one has to doubt.

I am kind of feeling that Cobb Uzit back. For me, classic case of debating btw going after a tougher back or a higher grade. I do want want of those bat off's in my collection ASAP!

I finally had a chance to go through the entire auction. Beyond the hyped centerpieces like the Baltimore News Ruth and the Wagner T-206, there is just so much amazing stuff. Some of the really neat or amazing items that stood out to me: the single-signed Dan Brouthers baseball, a complete set of 1950-51 Toleteros and the 1910 Philadelphia A's World Series Trophy Cup.

We've seen that 4-part Boston Garter here a couple times. I hope that doesn't mean Bruce is getting out of the hobby.

And, if I recall the story correctly, Mr. Mint did not "discover" that item. A teacher walked the item into a show, and Rosen was one of the people who made an offer it. Rosen ended up with it, then flipped it for a quick profit but nowhere near its true value. (Maybe someone who's better with the archive can find the original version. I poked around for a while and couldn't come up with it.)

For the posters on here that collect Cracker Jacks, is it standard for stained CJ's to still be graded an SGC 70 like the Matty in this Robert Edward auction? I know third-party grading is not perfect, but some of the low grade Matty CJ's I have seen up for auction in recent years look better than this "70" with noticeable caramel stains.
