1967 Laughlin Mickey Mantle PSA Trim Jobbery

I don't think you can submit a customer complaint if you don't own the card. You're better of waiting until it sells and then writing a report on the APR website about the item being miscategorized (not altered).

Wait, do you mean me?
I'm not looking to submit a customer complaint. All I'm doing is telling an eBay seller that they are obviously auctioning an altered card...so maybe they would do the right thing and inform bidders or let PSA know there's a problem.

I told them I'm not clicking on a link to go down some internet rabbit hole and told them they can overlay their card on any other 1967 Laughlin Mantle card to eliminate all doubt. The card has been hugely trimmed.

I take this kind of thing up with PSA to try to get them to recall the card; they made the mistake, so they should remedy it. So that's why I thought that was your next tactic.

Or you could reach out to eBay member in the thread below (psacrc) who may be able to confirm the card is trimmed and get it recalled from the seller you're dealing with.

Darren, while I don't (or at least have not started yet) collect the 67 Laughlin WS cards, I have completed the 1970 and 1971 sets. I remember going through many copies of each card in order to find copies that were as close to "regular" size as possible. It was always my presumption that these cards were poorly cut when produced.

Could this be the same with the 1967s and that is why PSA has what would appear to be extreme tolerance for card size when grading?

It seems impossible that this was a natural variation in size due to the cutting process.
I mean, it is extremely chopped down on three of the four sides. I have never seen one even close to being that much 'off,' and have never seen one small enough (save for the trimmed down PSA Auth Alt 'with address' one I show in my video) to fit in a regular sized slab.

Speculation: best guess is some kid chopped it down to make it be the same size as all of his Topps cards.
