This is getting tiresome, Maybe it's just me? Another trimmed Plank?

I see some space on the bottom left between your line and the card. I don't see any on the bottom right and none anywhere on the top.

Is that the ever elusive "Sweet Subjects" back?

I agree with Dan. There seems to be some space on the bottom left corner.

Congratulations, Dan.

Looks like they actually examined the card, so my theory was wrong:

"They may be correct. We can’t say with certainty that the card is trimmed, it may not be, but after careful examination, we do think this is a possibility."

I'm retracting my bid...stat!!!!!!!

It touches your line at the far left but you can drive a tractor trailer in between your line and the bottom right!

Thank you kindly!

[danmckee]

and the top has a straight cut unlike the bottom, no matching cuts top to bottom.

Dan you're pretty solid at this! Next time I buy some pre-war, I'm sending the image to you to take a peek at first :P

43 years of collecting pre-war cards might just have paid off! Thanks.

Catalog arrived today, my 90 year old father called me over and said hey son, lot 218 looks trimmed at the bottom. I said yes dad, you are still doing good without glasses!

I agree with Dan: This is getting tiresome.

Looks like Rob and the consigner agreed to an addendum to the description of this card. Hey another victory for the small fry!

I would have liked to have seen the card pulled but will be happy with the acknowledgement that it looks like it could be trimmed.

Thanks Rob! I don't care what I say about you, you are ok sometimes.

Nice job Dan.....and Kudo's to REA and the consignor too.

[sports-rings]

Dan,

great job by you and the auction house.

had this been another auction who I won't name, they would have just banned you from future auctions!

[danmckee]

Man I wish more of them would do that! I would save a fortune if I was banned by every auction house I attack!

Dan - that's a great point. It's possible (though unlikely) that the card warped a bit sideways and so the top wouldn't line up with the bottom horizontally, but a printed horizontal line at the bottom of the card should match the bottom edge in the same way the printed horizontal line at the top matches the top edge, even if the card was warped.

Some pretty bad registration, pretty ugly card...

[brass_rat]

I can definitely agree with that...just glancing at the card makes me dizzy...

I also agree with Dan that the bottom looks out of place...

Is it possible it's wear? I have a 205 missing the gold boarder completely but has wavy sides that I think is hand cut but others have said is wear. I will try and post later.

It's not the most beautiful Plank, but purely because of the way thin pieces of cardboard sit in these holders, I don't think you can tell if the bottom is trimmed, just by these scans.

Ray Charles can see that this card is hacked Scott

You got some sugar and I don't; I borrow some of yours. Next month you might not have any flour; well, I'll give you some of mine. Right now, just pretend like there's a little more cardboard on Eddie's bottom - next month he might have too much.
