Did a member win the trimmed E90-1 Tris Speaker on the PWCC auction that ended on Nov 10? I was the under bidder.

I did not bid. Sterling sold a PSA 2 in September for $3393. I usually take half of a 2 sale to determine a 1 price and half of that for an Aut. I was expecting this card to sell for 600-700, but trimmed cards can be all over the place in price. 385 plus home state vig is not a bad price imo. Rob

I've never ventured into pre-war auctions. I also have never bid on a trimmed card. I didn't know what to expect. I also don't see many copies of this card around and didn't know what to expect on pricing. Just a lack of experience from me.

I watched this auction and think this was a nice get for the buyer. But I wasn’t about to bid on it as it was offered by PWCC, and I’m not going to contribute to their bottom line.

Scarce pre war is definitely an anomaly. You just got to be willing to set a new record and put your best bid forward. Market value reset or set each time this kind of card is sold.

I was scared off by the flip. The card is definitely trimmed and noticeably so. I was having a hard time figuring out why it wouldn't be holdered authentic.

I wondered that too. I have seen some TPG say "authentic trimmed" and was wondering why this varied. I probably should have asked.

I have provided a link to the auction below. The Speaker is one of the E90-1 toughies, and to me it seems like the buyer got a decent price on a nice-looking, trimmed example.

Because you have to specifically request it to be holdered with a minimum grade of Authentic at PSA. They make the assumption that if it's altered, you don't want it in a holder unless you tell them to directly.

Ah, that's right. It's a really nice card. I should have asked about it.
