Not sure if this has made it yet onto sportcard collectors' radar screens, but an interesting development.

Since Jim's idea also involves his graded baseball cards, thought you'd all be interested to read this thread, just underway, on the N54 non-sports vintage card forum.

Good for Jim...hope it all works out. I know he is passionate about his collection. The general public will love looking at the cards, but can they relate to the slabs?

I think that's a great idea...I hope Jim can get it to fly...I would certainly make the spiritual journey out there to see Jim's massive collection. I wonder if it will have a room...er a wing devoted to trimmed cards?

I think ALOT of people just dont want to admit that some cards in thier collection are trimmed. If I was a major collector and a company was sliding by trimmed cards (knowingly or unknowingly) and it got out, ones collection would take a huge financial hit.

A great example is the Harris collection. I do think that it is great that Jim is starting a museum though. He has a great collection.

It is documented that cards have been trimmed...practically as long as there have been cards. It never mattered much to the true collectors...then $$$$$ got in the way!
