Trying to value a graded Authentic

[Lucas00]

The amount of times I've seen trimmed cards for sale that say "Evidence of trimming" on the label and the seller says "Card Looks Perfect" or "card looks amazing" is insane. It better look perfect, somebody trimmed the imperfections away lol...

I value them on par with a low grade (poor) raw equivalent.

If you follow trimmed cards in auctions, you will see a wide variety of selling prices. If it's a lousy trimmed job, and the borders are missing, it very well might sell for less than a card that's graded poor. But if it displays well, and has wide borders and sharp corners, I seen trimmed cards routinely match the prices of cards that grade very good.

Thanks so much for the opinions! I normally wouldn’t buy an authentic, but it’s a very nice card and doesn’t “show” the altered/trimming.

Here's a card I recently picked up that was previously rejected as trimmed ...

Well presenting rare cards sometimes sell for up to PSA 3-4 prices even in Authentic holders. Check PSA's auction prices realized website to get some data on similar cards to the ones you're looking for.
