This Berra that is missing a corner, might help show what I'm talking about when I said the cardboard is a different color inside the card.

My rule is ... I see a case like that ... I run.

Never seen a real card sold in one of those (at least on Ebay). Seen way too many obvious fakes sold in them.

I wouldn't waste my money or time on this one.

Fake or not, it's throwing good money after bad.

Agreed, $110 for this "item" is a complete waste of money.

To all...I was able to quickly find two examples that I consider much better, and at a somewhat comparable price. In my humble opinion, this would be a more sensible route to take for those looking to snag an Aaron Rookie on a budget. Without endorsing this particular card or eBay seller, a PSA Authentic '54 Aaron is not too terrible a card to own.

Here's another. Again, IMHO, this would be a superior option to the card pointed out by the original post. And, again, without endorsing this particular card or eBay seller, a PSA 1 '54 Aaron is not too terrible a card to own, either.

As to the authenticity of the trimmed copy, I would prefer not to speculate. I still can't get over the price realized and have not closely examined it.

Best Regards,
