‘54 Jackie - Trimmed?

[BobC]

Here's something else to try. Instead of comparing your raw '54 Jackie side-by-side with just one other raw '54 card, get several other raw '54 cards (assuming you have some more) and stack them up with Jackie buried somewhere in the middle of the stack, and snug all the cards up so they stack evenly on all sides. Now take a look at the cards in the stack from all sides and see if you can readily pick the Jackie card out by it not quite measuring up to all your other raw '54s. Not perfect, but may show the Jackie doesn't quite measure up after all.

Forget what I said, didn't realize right away the card in question was encapsulated. Can only do what suggested with raw cards. My bad.

It’s not encapsulated anymore, LOL.

Beautiful card. Trimmed or not it’s definitely a no brainer to crack it out of that crummy holder. Who the hell would want a card with the headline “trimmed.” Beginning to think more and more SGC is out to lunch with some of their business decisions.

This card is real but we have Evidence that it has been involved in the hobby crime of trimming. Enjoy proudly displaying your card in this tuxedo and be reminded each time that the card is trimmed. I mean what % of cards in these holders don’t get cracked out of there? Waste of plastic.

The same people who complained for years about a card being simply labeled as "A" with no explanation.

A few years back when I decided I wanted my '56 Mantle with an erasure / paper loss slabbed, I specifically chose SGC because I knew I would get the A with no explanation. Just an "A" to the uninitiated doesn't look bad at all, but the explanation does. I knew very well my card was altered; I was the one who being younger and dumber once upon a time altered it.
