Weird card from a serious set. What if it had been Mantle or Mays

I don't know if I find it shocking that someone would trim such iconic sports cards, or that PSA didn't notice.

You think Johnny Keane looked old? Here's Earl Weaver at 58:

Weaver and Keane look like they've been married for decades; you know, just don't give a damn anymore about their appearances.

What would happen if the card owner sent it to PSA for either a re-grade or just to re-holder the card? Would PSA turn around and now say, "it's not the legit 6 we told you it was. Turns out it's trimmed." PSA authenticated the card and the card was subsequently purchased based on that authentication. Are they liable in any way to the current holder?

However, that Wilt is most likely not trimmed, in my opinion. I have 3 of these Wilts, and a full set of the 61 Fleer cards. I'm very familiar with this set and have graded a bunch of these. The variance in size from the factory is remarkable (at least 3/16", maybe even a full 1/4" variance - it's THAT bad). Also, a large percentage of these have that horribly awkward diamond tilt like this one has. The bottom edge has the tilt too, it's just obscured by the bottom bumper, but if you look closely, it's there. |

For my money, this is just one of the most ghoulishly creepy looking pictures to ever appear on a baseball card. It gives me nightmares. He doesn't look human...

How about a card back? This was pretty sad for a child to read.

This wonderful card just begs so many questions …

Why don't you guys consider the 1956 Topps cards to have "Action shots"? Is it because they were hand-toned? Or because they also have profile pics on the cards? Something else?

I’ve always wondered if there’s a story behind this one. Anyone know?

Billy Martin giving the finger on a baseball card is shocking? I'd be shocked if he wasn't giving the finger.
