Trimmed card question

[ls7plus]

My understanding is that Steve is absolutely right about just stretching the corners. Had the misfortune to buy a raw 1935 Diamond Stars Foxx at a Chicago area show in the early '90's, just before PSA was really getting its foothold in the hobby. The card appeared to be a solid near mint, and at the time I didn't know to check the edges. It was later rejected by both SGC and PSA as being trimmed, although it of course measured just fine. Close inspection with the loupe revealed just the aforesaid pinching at the top corners--otherwise the edges looked just like other Diamond Stars cards I had. A $400 lesson in what the card doctors will do (although I later did have PSA slab the card as "authentic--trimmed," because I collect Foxx, and it sure does look nice).

Hope these posts help.
