How long will it be

[Theoldprofessor]

Over the years before PSA etc. I bought literally hundreds of T206s at shows, including about a half dozen Nationals. They all looked good to me, and I paid a a fair price for them.

After grading redefined the hobby, I sent them off. Of the ninety or so I submitted, about a third showed up as trimmed. Now a few of these were, on subsequent resubmission, deemed not trimmed, but most received the same "grade" on second try.

So while I was buying for the fun of it, some of those from whom I bought were cheating me.

I still have lots of good cards that aren't slabbed, and never will be. That's because I bought them in the fifties, a pack at a time, and know where they've been ever since.

But buy another ungraded T206? You must be kidding.
