Success with resubmission of "trimmed" cards?

Peter,

I agree, on both points.

The diamond cut is "equal and opposite," as it should be. Overall, though, it seems a bit short, from top to bottom...ever so slightly. Perhaps it was trimmed along two sides?

And yes, a scan would be quite helpful.

Best regards,

Eric

I think the right edge is wavy. Could just be the photo. When something looks wavy, I just put another card on the table and use the black border line as a guide and see if the card in question has a completely straight edge.

To me it looks like both sides are slightly trimmed and not a true diamond cut. I don't think any TPG would give it a numerical grade as a result. Just my opinion of course.

I have no comment on the card in question. But to the first question of cards being returned E of T and subsequently getting a number grade, I have had both SGC and PSA return cards as E of T and subsequently assign a number grade on a resubmission. I have also cracked out cards from both graders that were definately trimmed that subsequently would not cross or would not regrade.

The graders are not perfect.

I can't recall seeing a diamond cut that occurred on the left/right sides; only top/bottom. I'd say trimmed as well.

Trimmed in my opinion but you should have a much clearer view. Don't let your hopes cloud your view.

I sent a 51' Bowman Mays to SGC and it came back as being trimmed. I then sent it to PSA and they gave it a 4. Card matched up size wise to others and even had 4 relatively rounded corners. Not sure what SGC saw.

So here's a scan. to me the scan is worse that the photo, but maybe it's a little better for seeing the corners. Not sure why it looks so bad, but maybe I just have a crappy scanner.

For what it's worth, the only reason I didn't think it was trimmed was because the condition didn't seem to warrant someone trimming it. Also, it measures up on size compared with other T206 that have received number grades. Several other cards I bought from the same dealer about 25 years ago all received number grades. But you all know far more about this than I.

+1 ...and my opinion as well.
