Bobby
Got my T80 Millitary card with Lenox Back in the mail today.
PSA 3. I thought the card would grade a 4 or 5.
Oh Well!
Thanks for organizing this group sub.

Regards
John P

More should trickle in....nice bump on the Lasorda....going from SGC to PSA is a bump in itself monetarily....the half grade push should help when you decide to sell it. Lasorda is a legend.

Sorry to hear of those that didn't grade out well. I was very pleased with my (non-sport) cards. Exactly 100 Booker Tobacco Indians have been graded and I received a 7, only the second one from the entire series with none higher. And the gold bordered card at 6.5 is the highest of the series. 7 of the 13 cards submitted are the highest. Wanted to share my bright spot in this grouping. Thanks again Bobby!IMG_1640.jpg

Received yesterday - Thanks Bobby...

On the 2 that PSA deemed "Trimmed"

The Common, that I noted earlier in this thread, shows absolutely no trace of trim under magnification and compares dead on when overlayed on multiple other examples of 55s.

The 2nd trim - shows no evidence of trim under magnification but does not compare dead on when overlayed. Very slight margin is visible but ever so slight - so is possible but not probable IMO

Anyone else questioning the "TRIM" designations on your submit?

I questioned some of mine. Rather than wait another 6 months, I am selling and moving on.

Had 15 EPDGs in this batch.

I will say that I was happy with this submission. 2 cards that I thought should grade higher and 5 or 6 that actually did grade higher than I expected.

So all in all, very happy. Thanks again Bobby.....looking forward to the next submission popping in October.

Sorry for bad photos.....

Robert-Those two cards are trimmed and someone did a horrible job to boot.

And to Lonnie- Magnifying a card or laying a card on top of one another are not methods used to determine if a card has been trimmed. Knowing how to detect a consistent factory cut is how you determine if a card is trimmed, and that can be different from year to year and from issue to issue.

Just a suggestion to anyone who cannot tell if a raw card is trimmed or altered--pay a bit more and buy the card already graded and save yourself disappointment, time and frustration. Card may still be trimmed or altered but it is in a holder making it easier to sell down the road and less likely a chance you will lose money.

Thanks for the info. About 4 years ago I bought a nice raw '61 Topps, submitted it and it came back evid of trimming. It was the same size as other 61's but apparently the reason was as you stated.
That was my last raw card purchase.

Exactly! Good words for card newbies and vets.
