Maybe he thought it was a strip card? I can just imagine him hacking away , looking at the card and saying.... hmm maybe just a wee bit more?? 30 minutes later OH CRAP!!!!! This is where he wished he could jump into his DeLorean and go back in time....... seriously, that is about the best card Ive ever seen totally butchered and its a damn shame.

I was wondering why that second-to-last option only got an 82% opprobrium rate: https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=347578

Interesting to look at the posters on that thread, too.

He probably wanted to trim that gash out of the right side...and if I'm being honest, that looked horrible, regardless of what type of "originalist" you are.

....and then he realized the card looked off-center, sparking some sort of OCD reaction in his brain from which he couldn't help himself.

Don't think it was anything nefarious. Just a little misguided maybe.

Geez...at least you have a scan of what the card originally looked like.


Buyers from the state of Maine should legally be restricted from purchasing this example.

Other than being guilty of maybe bad taste and bad scissor skills I’m not sure why this guy should take flack for this.

I can't imagine anyone thinking this was meant to deceive, I think he likely really just thought it would make it better aesthetically and failed miserably.

truly, I genuinely like the earned wear of age including a missing chunk here and there occasionally. I have to take the other side and say that the original card was leaps and bounds better looking than a trim...even if done with a paper cutter as some border is certainly better than none.
