1909-11 T206 Johnny Evers

[jimq]

Here's some better scans of the Evers from the auction where the OP bought the card for $345. I feel bad in a way for the OP, he bought some cards graded by subprime graders, he bought a Christmas pack, and bought some from a mad ex selling her ex-husband's cards. I guess he's managed to avoid the attic find so far.

He's doing the same thing most of us did when we started collecting. I remember opening packs and looking at the current Beckett to see what cards were "worth".

Friendly suggestion to the OP - spend some time here reading and learning, then buy cards you like because you like them, and buy cards graded by professional graders.

Ok. nice response said. Yes i do go by Beckett price guide. And yes, i am not a saavy collector. Yes, i could gain some knowledge here. And yes, buying graded cards seems to be the best idea, preferabbly PSA,BECK, SGC.
I do not know what stuff to look for.

Hopefully we can get pass what was done and call it a dumb move. I have said those items are going to be sent in to be graded This will give some relief in this matter. Bygones be bygones.
I did contact the previous owner of the CSA and ask him questions.
Now leave me alone on ebay and i'll read these forums and learn some information.

Now onto a question- Has anyone ever bought a PSA, BEck, SGC and cross it over and have it trimmed? Like if someone was just a PSA collector.

I have had several sgc cards which did not cross to Psa due to trimming. Around 1%. That is the exception rather than the rule. I know others have had issues with Psa cards gettin into sgc holders. Probably at a higher rate based on the opinions on this board. However. Nearly all CSA cards are in those holders because they will not get into numbered Psa or sgc holders.
