'33 WWG Gehrig on ebay

[Archive]

Posted By: PASJD

Within this very thread there is disagreement among very knowledgeable people on an ebay item with as good a scan as one could hope for. Several people say probably trimmed, others say they can't tell, an expert collector who specializes in the issue says probably not trimmed, and an expert dealer who has handled many of this exact card says almost certainly altered. So there is nothing even close to a consensus, and I don't have anywhere near the knowledge of most of you so how could I possibly make an accurate judgment. Not that the grading companies have any more reliable knowledge, far from it, but at least if I buy a graded card even if they got it wrong the card has a commodity resale value.
