Advice Needed...Trimmed or not?

[FrankWakefield]

Well looking at the scan of the card next to the straightedge, ignoring the last 2 helpful posts, and considering Chris' thoughts like I had a while ago, I'm now inclined to accept that it's not trimmed.

I appreciate everyone's advice and input...Quan you're a card!!! I'll go buy a laser level...tomorrow!!! I have a bad feeling sgc would grade it A with my my luck!

Placing a card up against a ruler does not rule out trimming further a card sizing up or measuring larger than another from the same issue does not rule out trimming. Pete you are right to conclude the card is fine.

Hey Frank are you this grumpy all day long or just when you post here? Holy cow!

Greg...I put the 2 cards side by side more 4 my benefit...as the other doesn't look trimmed to me...while the gehrig does. Maybe the off centeredness gives the illusion of a trim to me...combined with the fact the card measures short!

I most likely will not send it in for grading...assuming I don't return it.

The ruler does make it look straight,but the picture you blew up at 9:02 am makes the bottom look jagged. I still think it has been cut,but then again what do i know.

I almost bought that card, but my bid did not register in time. I have bought other cards from him. He's a good seller, he will want to make you happy if you find a problem.

If you plan to sell that card some day you should consider PSA in this instance. I bought a raw 41' PlayBall Ted Williams from eBay. I thought I was going to keep it so I sent it to PSA and it came back
VG-EX (MK). I had to sell it so I could add to my 34's I was surprised that it sold for twice than what I bought it for a couple of months ago. A higher numerical grade with a qualifier will trump the lower grade with no Q (on eBay)

P.S. I kinda thought the edges on the williams looked funny too. One looked like it had a kink in it. Not the same seller though.
