little help w/ 32 caramel ruth....

[begsu1013]

david,

yeah, i have thick skin and appreciate truthful opinions above all else....

however, come to find out from another member* that this card has previously sold for $2049 and $1500, so i feel a little better about what i paid!

although it might be trimmed, the overall eye appeal is better than most of the 5's ive seen even with the minute tack hole.

*shout out to james on the previous pricing history!

The eye appeal of trimmed cards is usually pretty good.

could trim up that 4 above and I'd still pick mine.

If both cards were trimmed so would I. What's your point?

Are you saying you'd rather have a trimmed but pretty one than a VG-EX unaltered one? Well that would put you in a small minority I would guess, judging by market values. But what the hell, to each his own, if you like sharp corners though you best be real careful of card doctors whether your cards are slabbed or not.

my point was pretty clear. i was objecting to your statement that all trimmed cards look pretty good...or to put it in laymen's terms or more precisely: you cant polish a turd.

Who said ALL trimmed cards? Read what I wrote, I said the eye appeal of trimmed cards is USUALLY pretty good. And I stand by that, usually cards are trimmed with the intention of selling to folks who are hung up on condition/numerical grade/what have you.

you seem like you like to argue a lot, peter.
