YES, in verifying with my consignor, this is the EXACT same card that was sold by Mazman9.

It was NOT trimmed by me or my consignor but by Mazman himself as he clearly discloses in his description.
In looking at the card, It has however been flatten but the creases are still there.

My consignor and I simply acquire the card that was sold to us by the owner who “clearly” state that he altered it and didn’t sell it the first time around.

If there is any crime committed on MY end for buying this card and selling it, then string me up by the balls and I’ll provide the wipe.

A copy of the email to Scott below for additional details.


Best Regards
Henry

BTW …. first time on this board and a real warm welcome. I thought investment bankers were tough. Thanks fellas.

Personally I prefer the good old fashion way of communicating, on the phone, man to man or better yet, in person. Besides, it’s easier on my fingers.

Restored (meaning chemicals and colors added and the works) – NO.

Trimmed to it's current size, Yes - The Joe Jackson was at one time slightly larger and crooked cut rough on the left side and was cut to its current size.
It still falls within the guide standards. SGC has graded these cards if they fall within guide standards. Let's put it this way, if you buy it and Grady doesn't slab it , I'll send you a refund and your postage and your retun postage and your grading fees. What more are you asking ?

These are strip cards and every one that are encased in SGC tombs have obviously been trimmed, cut off sheets (or which ever way you want to put it).
That's why cards with larger borders command premiums since they can technically be "cut" to guide standards.

Is this ethical ? Many will say "Hell NO", since trimmed cards are just that, trimmed cards regardless if they're slabbed by SGC.
Whether they be W-cards or 1941 Playball paper versions, which all have found their way in the SGC holder.

Dude, have you brought from me before? or do you know anyone who has that is pist off where I failed to rectify the situation ?
Or do you just not like me ?
If Yes to Any of the following, then I understand why all this bashing and this trial being conducted.

Personally I don't know you, have never dealt with you (or others that have joined your witch hunt) and have absolutely nothing against you.
(Believe I might have met Andy once but could be a different Andy at Westchester, NY).

You don't even know me. Heck, I'm not even a bad guy, I'm sure if I met you or the "board council" cc'd above, or the other board members at a bar, I would buy you a beer if you started talking baseball.

If you need to reach me, my number is below.

So Henry, here's the email you asked for: is the w514 Jackson restored? "yes" or "no" will do.

Thanks,
Scott
