You should disclose in the listing that the card is trimmed.

Just to make sure my understanding of grading abbreviations is clear, but I thought "ET" mean't Evidence of Trimming?

I apologize if I’m an idiot, what is the E in the advertisement for then? I thought it was just their prefix. Been awhile since I’ve cracked one of these…

Here's the only card Alan Hagar ever correctly slabbed.

Interesting to converse with people who knew Alan Hagar. So do you think my card has minimal value?
Just curious is Alan still alive? |

Then there's a chance I can get him to reslab my card and leave out "Altered Reprint".

An Adkins Piedmont in low grade will sell for $125-150, maybe more. If you want to sell the card, you should probably pay the $30 or whatever it is at SGC to get it graded, even if it grades an A, there are plenty of collectors who will pay a premium for nice looking cards in A holders. If by some small chance it isn't trimmed, then it looks like an SGC 4 or better, which will fetch a huge figure. But you are unlikely to get a big sum with the card in that holder.

Just curious but is that the reason why you bought Doc Adkins card in the first place?
Anyways I would crack it out of the case for the following reasons: 1) it’ ll probably fail eBay’s Authenticity Guarantee ( I know because I bought a Babe Ruth card in an ASA slab. CSG failed it. The seller eventually had the card authenticated by CSG and sold it to someone else for twice the amount). 2) Historical reasons or not, I don’t think you’ll get the price that you’re currently asking for in its current slab. Just my $0.02. Last edited by EddieP; 09-04-2022 at 04:12 AM. |

I would sell it as is, def label it authentic but trimmed. I really don’t think it’s worth the time/$ to re-holder it just to have it come back “A” anyway and get a small sale.
This thread was very educational, I did not know some of these things regarding ASA.

Alan would have salespeople dress in suits and carry his tome in an attaché case. They would sell his book, his cards, and more importantly his philosophy. Lots of pomp and little substance. The inflationary prices and fanciful projections were not of this earth. As it turns out though - he was kind of right.
What began with a grading/encapsulation process in the coin industry morphed into same for cards. It was suggested he would encapsulate cards and coins that were altered into his own tombs and sell them as uncleaned or unaltered. His reputation was let's just say not stellar and one can get a glimpse by searching a bit of the interweb. I spoke with him a few times - primarily after he moved to Florida related to cigarette packs and packaging. He actually had a table at a national maybe 8(?) years ago after an absence of about that much time. I have his book entrenched on my collectible bookshelf nestled in-between my Cashmanian coffee table book and Petrone's Tobacco Advertising The Great Seduction. Quite a character - many of the early hucksters were. |

I wonder what he's thinking when he sees PSA grading tens of millions of cards or the recent SGC '52 Mantle reach $12.5 million

Reholder or not reholder. Hell, I’d be happy with that card raw
