SGC Grading Question

It looks really oddly shaped. It looks too tall (possible miscut?) and is also curved along the bottom (possible trim). But its hard to tell with the picture, the lens of a camera can distort a card. A scan would tell a better story.

Funny back in the day oversized T206's were quite common now you hardly ever see them...wonder why that is?

Wow John-I think that's about the nicest Walter Johnson T206 I've ever seen!!

back in the day a certain collector was paying 100 for mint examples of 206s, when 206s were a fraction of the cost. The over sized 206s magicly disappeared...

the above Jackson came in my first group of 206s-a ex bat on cobb, vg young,white cap Matty-e91 examples of Speaker and Johnson and a group of the 9 Baltimore players-also there was a #92 Goudey Gehrig.

Needless to say , that group got me hooked on vintage cards. Started going to the Philly show and slowly building my set. This was all before ebay-now you can build it sitting at your computor.

Are all of the Mint Harris Collection cards trimmed?

Pretty easy to see that the border on the lower left front/right back has been cut.

From a prior thread...

Many of the Harris cards came from the Copeland collection. Its a commonly discussed topic that many dealers trimmed cards to sell to Jim Copeland. Jim was one of the first big wallets in the hobby and had a passion for stellar cards and would pay top dollar. Unfortunately many dealer and sellers took advantage of this trimming cards to sell to him.

IMO the PSA 7 Plank from the Copeland collection is trimmed along with many others, the bad thing is because of this even legitimate high grade cards from that collection now carry a question of doubt due to these past issues or rumors.
