Interesting You Tube clip from from Greg Morris

I’d like to know what is used too. I’d buy one if it is reasonable.

I've never purchased from GM cards. I looked at the ebay offerings and found GM cards has a lot of material for sale.

Out of all the cards for sale (pages and pages) I didn't see any graded cards. I don't recall seeing much in the way of opinions that would provide the bidder with information indicating GM cards felt the cards were trimmed (some were obviously trimmed), which was kind of disappointing, however, a 30 day return policy is offered which at least provides the buyer the opportunity to return the cards.

I'll put the seller on my watch list because there's a lot of low priced alternatives (fillers) offered (if that's what you like).

If you have a PSA slab that was cracked open, you could probably use half the slab for a quick check to see if modern day cards measure up to the standard dimensions. You could also quickly identify oversized cards.

Just anf fyi, they sell graded cards through their ebay account "gmcards2"

I've bought from both accounts.

They have an amazing selection. I've bought raw T207s, 1929 Kashins, Wheaties issues from the '30s, Berk Ross, 50s Royal Desserts. The volume of rare issues they sell at auction is fantastic.

And if you are ever unsatisfied with a purchase, you can return for free (they pay the postage), with no questions asked.

Amazing seller.

Good idea Fred, but who run their right mind would crack open a valuable PSA slab. It would take a year or more and big bucks to get the card reholdered with no guarantee that the grade would not be reduced.

Never had an issue with them and the shipping was fast when I have used them.

Again this proves to me the PSA controls the market, I love it.
