An Hour of Indecision

Just my take on it but I'd be sending it back for a refund. File a SNAD claim if you have to since it was not described as trimmed.

Wouldn't think you could file a claim as the pictures that show it as being (possibly) trimmed are in the listing.

The adventure continues. Late yesterday my favorite mailperson, Jackie, delivered Mugsy, well-packaged and, frankly, I felt relief simply because he arrived at all, which my first concern. Of course, I was all over it, and had already written down all of the observations from the learned members of the board to assist in my analysis. Unfortunately, my electron microscope was broken, but I do believe the card to be genuine. As far as trimming, I just don't know. I have looked at a lot of T206's in my time and if it is trimmed, the trimmer is one clever doctor. At the top right edge there is definitely a small bat ear, always a tell tale sign of trimming, but also just a bit of paper disturbance on the opposite reverse which could be faulty blade cutting, which somebody has already suggested. It measures fine, in fact, a tad o/s. May I please have opinions on which grading service should have the pleasure of Mgr. McGraw's presence while they determine his fate. Wouldn't it be wonderful, if for once, the seller's story was gem mint and she or whoever is sitting on a bunch of nice prewar cards about to hit the marketplace. I can dream.

It wasn't "described" as trimmed though, so it's "not as described".

It really doesn't matter anyway though. Ebay will accept a not-as-described claim for anything. It's a de facto return policy, just as ebay designed it to be.

Forget Flo, now I have a new pin-up girl, Lily, the ATT lovely that graces the TV from time to time. I am sure that nobody else noticed but me that, behind that sweet face and computer brain, she has a knockout figure. Flo, eat your heart out. God, I need a life.

Glad you like the card! I actually like Flo, but my favorite is Melanie Paxson who is in Red Robin and Fiber One commercials. Not even sure why, but I think she's adorable.

...I haven't so much as given a second look at any other woman since "Weeds" went off the air....and I think I'm not alone here...


......oh . and if the seller actually has ninety-nine other cards from that 'find' , you would do well to stay in touch with him/her...I'd be parked in the driveway with a briefcase full of green...
