I agree, if you don't feel 100 percent... Pass. You will save yourself a huge headache in the long run. Not unless you want to call the seller in question and have him or her confirm the measurements for you.

Have him send you pictures or scans of the card aligned on a ruler, so you can see whether or not it measures out correctly.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Overpaying yesterday is simply underpaying tomorrow.

He could trim those cards as well, so it wouldn't provide you with any real answers.

Default You're looking for a deal when deals don't exist

You're trying to find a bargain on a card that doesn't have bargains. It doesn't exist. The only reason someone would be tempted to pay PSA 5 money for that card is on the if-come of getting a higher grade when submitting it. The best word for this is greed. The seller will have got to your greed if you decided to buy it, it's highly likely the card has been altered regardless of how it may appear in the photo or the guy would have submitted it himself to resell it for it's true value.

This is a common card. You can find PSA 5's on the regular. Why bother gambling when it is completely unnecessary in this situation?
