How Badly does Trimming Affect Value?
Posted By: davidan
I have a 62 Topps Maris card that upon first look would grade at a NrMt 7. But when you look more closely and line-up with another card you can tell that a very very minimal trim has been taken off the top of the card to square up what I believe to have been a centering issue ... |

How Badly does Trimming Affect Value?

Welcome to the board. I mainly have experience in pre-war cards but if they are trimmed you can take about 80% to 90% off of the value of an otherwise vg one....I would *guess that post war could be about the same, maybe even more of a deduction, since they are more plentiful than the really old ones, in general.......regards |

As a pure collectible your card has value, as an investment--nada. |

I never would have thought people would say 80-90% !? By the way nice to meet you I'm pretty new here too and come from the same 80s era of collecting as a kid. |
