One of the "rough" cards in my all - PIEDMONT set was Joss. I recently replaced that card with this beauty.

I prefer SGC cards to others in slabs because they're so easy to bust out. I can't imagine paying extra for a high graded card because so many of them are trimmed. If I'm going to have trimmed cards, they might as well be affordable ones. By the way, the Tattoo Orbit Grove came from Lionel Carter's collection, which seems like proof that the trimmers go way back.

Hi Chris

Love your post....and, very well said.

And, I completely agree with you on the ease of cracking open SGC holders.

Here's my array of "flips".....this display is just a tiny example of the number of flips floating around in my archives.

It does blend in fairly well, but if I had a 33 Goudey Connally with a little more surface dirt it might have been almost undetectable without looking twice.
