it hardly seems realistic to expect someone to confess to trimming the card and it's fairly clear from Darren's presentation that the card has been trimmed.

Was there that much size variance in this issue that the smaller card wouldn't have raised a red flag?

A mess....

Makes me glad I can't afford high-end cards, LOL.

I would change the title to get more eyes on it... including Heritages since it’s live with them right now. I did send a PM to Pete Calderon letting him know. This card should likely be stopped from selling....this is not a good look for SGC after the t206 autos, now this trimming... and TPGs in general with trimming as there are a lot of issues with more high value modern cards showing up trimmed and graded (easier to find them due to serial numbers)....

I don't know about the 36 WWG specifically but size variations are common for the 33/34 Goudeys. Of course all the nice ones just happen to be on the shorter side lol.

SGC didn't drop the ball once but TWICE, here's the same card regraded as a 7 with the old SGC slab.

It's pretty obvious. Jeremy w@agoner.

Harold Arlen could write about it.

Slice slice here
Dice dice there
It won't give the graders pause
That's how we do our card repair
In the merry old land of Oz

Why would you trim a great card?
