So much for REA disclosure on T206s...

Say it ain't so!!

I am picturing Kevin sitting in a chair... With his fingers in his ears... Shaking his head back-and-forth saying Lala Lala Lala Lala Lala...as if to not hear any of this.

Kevin didn't win the card.

Yes but did he bid on it? That's the issue here.

I'm with the guys who think this is not trimmed; however, it makes no sense that REA would mention trimming unless they could see clear evidence.

What I'm waiting for: REA to sell an autograph with a JSA letter, and say that they think it might be a fake.

The above makes me think that they feel comfortable with someone on staff giving opinions on cards and overriding PSA, but don't have the same in-house expertise on autographs. I think all AH's should have some expertise on autographs, especially when they are depending on JSA or PSA.

Scott,
I think there is a difference. A card still has value, even if it is trimmed. An autograph does not if it is fake.

Jim, well-put - I like the cut of your jib.

I would bet good money the answer is yes and most likely not an opening bid either. Most of the time when Kevin takes the time to blast a card with its own thread its a card he's tried to buy...nothing new. Funny? Yes..new not so much.

One thing to note on the PSA cards with a number grade, theoretically PSA has a money back guarantee, so if the trim seems too obvious, the buyer could always try to send the card back to PSA and try to get the price he paid to REA back from PSA.

You know what, the fact that this is driving you absolutely nuts gives me incredible satisfaction. Now ladies and gentlemen, sit back and enjoy the vast array of cartoons, past emails, ancient old Net54 threads, and everything else this guy has hoarded away in his computer. I wonder if you really know how silly you look sometimes when you resort to those tactics, shows pretty poor form if you ask me. There is no disputing the fact that I can't stand you, and vice versa, but why don't you take it off the board? There is no taking the high road with someone like you, I guess you have plenty of idle time to kill....P.S.- I believe if I was going to spend $5500 plus, I would settle for a centered and non trimmed Joss....

I don't have a horse in this race, why not answer Leon's question...."did you bid on this card". Your last post looks like a pretty big deflection.

Sorry you didn’t win the Joss card Kevin there’s always next time.

Um, with the search engines it's pretty easy to find just about anything on Net 54. If you said that in a post in the past, your post can be easily found and some people tend to have long memories. And the question is simple, did you make an offer on the card back in the day before it was consigned to REA. That is a yes or no answer. You can yell all you want but your history is out there.
