Good one Jim!!

Thanks for providing the high res scans-I would also like to hear what Kevin thinks of this.

Sincerely,Clayton

It definitely looks like a built up corner that came apart...you'd have to think that the other corners were altered as well right?

[botn]

The other 3 corners are not built up. They are NM or slightly better however I cannot rule out whether or not the card is trimmed on the bottom which would account for the higher grade appearance.

Nothing happens until you get outraged and demand that a moderator lock/delete this thread.

Then the fun begins.

Greg, everyone that you dealt with on that card is a great guy. I've had awesome dealings with all. You can be comfortable with dealing with all of them. I've never had a bad experience with any of them. You can trust them. This hobby is great.

Big deal about nothing...

I see extremely close up pics of a 100 year old card that was made of very brittle multi-layered card stock. The corner got bumped slightly at some time, the top layer (back) of the fragile brittle card stock cracked and dislodged at corner a bit but did not separate from the rest of card completely (yet).

Card looks OK too me. even if that piece fell off its a 60 IMO, and no that corner does NOT have VG wear its EX+ wear

Remember these are high quality extremely close up pics, which actually show single paper fibers floating in slab too.
