Not so sure Joss has a trimmed top. look at it from back, has a slight diamond shape (from factory), maybe.

If someone were to break open the slab belonging to another owner, but gave them $50 for regrading, and the card comes back as Authentic, has a crime taken place?

Great discussion. 2 thoughts on trimmed cards: 1) knowing the t206 Joss is trimmed would remove any/all desire to own card. 2) would always rather have a card with an assigned number grade than an "authentic" card.

additional thought- My dad and I's favorite cards are t205 gold border, so we are constantly looking at cards from this set- We look at eye appeal above all else- some wear or tobacco staining (esp. on back) only adds to the character of cards, which after all, are 100+ years old.

Finally, a sentiment about graded cards that I love- Buy the Card, not the Holder.

Collector: Uh, Mr. Orlando , how did the Joss card get an 8.
Mr Orlando: Uh,,, well the (huge) customer is always right.

I am with you. I think it might not be trimmed and is undervalued.

I do Always like to remain optimistic on pieces such as this one...
However, I think Rob & Brian got this one right.
I don't like the "Bat ears" one old Eddie.
& The 1st Generation Label from PSA doesn't help my humble opinion either...

But an *8 is an *8... ain't it? ;-)

Kevin this isn't one of those cards you slam publicly on here for being trimmed, while you try to buy it at the same time is it?

That's interesting. I would be interested in knowing if Kevin (hi Kevin) was bidding, and if so, was he bidding aggressively? Saying something sucks and then bidding? Nah, that would never happen....

Kevin-?

I just couldn't understand why...if Kevin were doing such a thing...can someone please explain this to me????

I simply don't get it?

BTW...I kiss my stockpile of PSA vouchers before I go to bed each and every night.
