"Authentic" 1915 Cracker Jack Joe Jackson

[mintacular]

Right side is clearly trimmed...So you are taking the seller's word over SGC's opinion?

[chaddurbin]

sgc deemed it was factory short. they even went as far as putting unaltered on the flip. imo the min size requirement is stupid. if it's a factory cut and unaltered, then grade the thing. that's a 30k flip.

If it's authentic but factory miscut then SGC should grade it numerically. Seems nonsensical to have an "A" designation that could include altered and unaltered cards and the "unaltered" subtitle doesn't change the "A" grade it received...In short, there should be a different grade to distinguish an "A altered" v. "A unaltered" ones...

Absolutely agree. This card is a steal at $10,000

I am pretty sure that this is the same card that was just in a Heritage auction. I think that it sold for $7K.

if that's the case, it's a $3000 flip. Even at $10,000, i think it's a steal.

Exact same card and holder, if the card isn't trimmed and it's factory short and not touched since 1915 upon leaving the factory...then it's at most a miscut if you feel the need.

If in fact the card is not trimmed then the AUTH makes no sense at all.

P.S. Note to self buy cards in auctions and then re-list them 3 months later on eBay with a great story and bingo 3k in profit not a bad return.
