It's starting to sound like I've got a $10k card on my hands

I think it's NOT trimmed. Take a look at all four edges and see if they all have the same color and striations. If one of them is bright white, that's a good tell that it was trimmed. Based on the borders I can see in the scan, I am guessing all four edges would look similarly cut and worn.

It looks trimmed, but the size looks good. Maybe part of a sheet that wasn't used (because of the slight color shift?) and then hand cut at some point after production?

Even if it measures correctly there is a chance that it is trimmed. Has happened to me before. It's a nice card with a partial miscut on the back regardless. I feel like it is trimmed, but who knows.

Default btw...

obvious trim.....(without seeing in person)

check out both "dog ears" up top....they both "flare up".....luke.....check all the edges.....top edge will look different.....might be a slight "shave".....many T206 were large top to bottom , back in the day.....collectors used to trim them just to fit in some binders believe it or not....ask Wonka

look at the top edge, some paper peeled back/looks tampered.....

corners up top are DRASTICALLY different than the bottom corners......bottom are "fuzzy" and evenly worn....

btw...nice slight "2 back"

It indeed appears trimmed; sticks out like a sore thumb.

Except for the back being so off center it's a slam dunk for a trim job. I still don't see how that top right corner could be so sharp given the other corners wear. So I will agree with the others.

"It's starting to sound like I've got a $10k card on my hands."


If that card is worth 10K, it is a real "gasp"er.

I picked up this Meyers that has the same type of cut. And I'm 99% sure this one is not trimmed or altered in any way. If you have a card with the same cut, please post it. I still lean towards the Gaspar being un-altered, but I'm not sure.
