I am pretty sure the label states that this grading company believes it did a Very Good job when grading the Williams.

At least it isn't an item that was never hand cut. There are so many cards not hand cut and TPG's put it on their holder. You would think they would know by now but they don't. I could name quite a few series that get the incorrect "hand cut" moniker....

Strikes me as odd that collectors who will scream from the mountain top that they have nothing to do with graded cards . . spend so much time talking about . . . graded cards.

People who say they have nothing to do with eBay . . .post a few times a week . . . about eBay.

Not that odd, as there are very limited options in this hobby. I don't give a sh!t about whether a card I want is graded, but often the graded example is all you can find.

One has the right to point out flaws, whether or not they begrudgingly use that particular resource.

I qualify as a mountain top dweller, and avoid opinion sellers as much as possible, but when you dive as deeply into an item as I have with the m113 and m114 posters you are sometimes stuck with opinion seller interactions. I look at every baseball magazine poster that I see posted anywhere, and am constantly on the lookout for ones I have not seen.

When an m114 has an opinion attached it's instantly a red flag due to their usual sizes. This Williams has no official releases, that I am aware of, that fit in an opinion holder, so it must be Trimmed = Hand Cut to get it's numbered opinion.

For those on the board who collect opinions it strikes me as odd that "hand cut" can evidently get a number, while my understanding of the process of opinions is that "trimmed" can not.

That seems about right. This item is about as large as a graded comic book. From my experience, for items that size, it is best to use lots of bubble wrap and a Medium Flat Rate Box.
