The card was removed for sale from eBay and MySlabs at that time and this individual was provided the evidence that the card is trimmed.

This same individual has now relisted the card on both eBay and MySlabs as shown below for $55,000-$70,000.


Will also be curious to hear the explanation behind this.

If the sale is made, maybe PSA will pay out on the total... or maybe not.

Card looks trimmed along the left side, likely with the intent of improving the centering.

I don't like the two left side corners. The apparent alteration is more evident when looking at the reverse side, in which the trimmed edge and 2 corners don't match the natural wear of the opposite side. In addition, the card appears narrow side-to-side, and is quite loose within the holder.

Was it BODA that outed this one?

Now we can post comments in bst threads?

Different rules for different fools.

Any card ever sold by pwcc should be mentioned in the listing here on the bst.

Yes, if someone is selling a fraudulent card there can be comments. There is precedence for it too. Show proof and show it being sold on our forum and it will be made known, I assure you.

They thought they could sneak this by? It has to be done with no regard for the cards outing as trimmed. Evidence there is no standing behind their product.

Thanks for the link Peter...

Amazing how the average person can immediately see the alteration from a small cell phone screen. Yet PSA can't (or won't) detect it with card in hand!

You are spot-on with your observation.

Hey guys,
For comparison, here is my JRobby which I can guarantee you has not tampered with. I
acquired this card in the Spring of 1949 having pulled it out of a 1-cent LEAF wax-pack.

Ted, did the card look like that straight out of the pack?? Or was it handled as a kid?

Bobby

These 1949 LEAF's were the first colorized BB cards in our neighborhood. We young dudes "LOVED" them.

We flipped them, scaled them towards the steps on our porches (like playing horseshoes). And, the Babe Ruth, Joe D. and Jackie were certainly our favorites.

Now, to answer your question. This is what these cards looked like right out of their wax-pack......

Perhaps PSA reviewed it already and somehow reaffirmed the grade.
