A Question to Ponder

[Ronnie73]

I believe also that because they are already cut narrow that trimming would not be done and if it was, it would be noticable. It would be interesting to know what percentage of American Beauty's are at the normal T206 size. It can't be much so I believe the chances of one being trimmed and passing TPG would be rare. I personally don't worry much about this because I tend to collect VG-EX and below so professional trimming doesn't worry me since they are looking to make a card NM+. I don't have any normal size T206 American Beauty's but I do have one T205 at a normal card size.

I am not all that familiar with the T205's, but is it the same situation with AB's as the T206 set (some cut narrow, and some regular card size)?

Thanks-

Yes Clayton, it is the same with the T205's. I think its a little easier to find a T205 without the narrow cut than it is with T206's. I'm not sure why but this is what i've noticed. The T205 Tony Smith I posted is without the narrow cut. You can see how it fills the PSA holder side to side completely.

you see ABs at normal size and many that are normal are the 350 no frames.

take note of the McQuillan above
