This dealer is one of the most knowledge and prolific boxing dealers out there. I have purchased many items from him, consigned multiple pieces and consulted with him on purchases from other dealers. If I received a piece I didn't like, I returned it no questions asked and for a prompt refund. Worked with him about eight years. He is honest and I would recommend him wholeheartedly.

That being said, I'm dumbfounded as to why he just wouldn't say the card was obviously trimmed.

The listing clearly states 14 day return...are you saying he won't take it back? His response to you screams not to bid??

Sounds like a great guy but what is he doing with the card in question?

I am saying when someone avoids answering a valid and very obvious question that is a major red flag. Especially when they should know better. If he is such a great guy and so knowledgeable about boxing cards then he should know it is trimmed and state it, if not in the auction certainly as a response when asked directly (which I did). By not doing so he completely turns me off from ever doing business with him.

As for the return policy, why buy it just to confirm something that I already know and that he should have been upfront about when asked. Just screams of bad business practices.

I never stated he was a great guy....but "when I pushed, he said he didn't know and to bid at your own risk."...this is an easy one...stay away!

you would have to be blind to not know this is trimmed, id be way more leery if it were say nm and he was saying he did not know if it were trimmed. When its described as low grade many old timers would include trimming in the category of defects that make something low grade. Remember not everyone is a slabhead and adheres to their/our vocabulary etc. I do feel he should have told James it was cut but I have seen far worse things going on in this hobby to get all worked up over this.

Yeah......it's pretty obviously trimmed. The ones I hate are the ones that don't even hazard an opinion or any details about a cared (somewhat like this one I guess) and just say 'judge for yourself' or 'look at photo'. If the card looks EXMT, it can still have a crease or other issues. I will generally not bid in those type auctions because about 1/2 the time, I'm disappointed when I get the card.
