I wouldn't trust cards like this not to be microtrimmed. Even back then, big bucks for getting them into the 10 holder, and no expense to buy them. I am guessing a lot of these very low pop common 10s are altered. Just my opinion.

While the nice, sharp Topps 1975 Dave Roberts card priced at $2 at your local card show is most certinly not trimmed. Draw your own conclusions. (Mine would be that the higher the price of the card, the more likely trimming may be part of its "provenance".)

None of it matters -- whether it's trimmed, whether it's deserving of the 10, whether broken out of the slab and laid next to 10 of the same card that used to be 9s you could tell the difference (and I bet you could not). As I say, the flip is now the commodity.

Here’s one on eBay that appears to still have the original corners 🙂
Also The registration of “Padres” is on - unlike the “10”

When playing the "greater fool" theory is the most popular game in town, how long can it be before the bubble bursts?

Yes, I'm sure! But he's dead so thankfully can be ignored. Less convenient though are all the proverbial prudent men on the street. I'd hate to be the one trying to explain why one 1975 Dave Roberts card sold for $33,600 while another basically indistinguishable Dave Roberts card sits at $3.36 with no takers. I imagine any explanation I might be able to offer would be met with a sneer and the comment" Are all you Baseball card collectors crazy or are you just stupid?"

Ahhhh, well the minority responsible for these extremes are (stupid crazy) I guess. Unfortunately it's a minority we can't ignore because they do have an impact on setting prices for the rest of us.
