Is it me or does the bottom of this card skew small to large left to right. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=55918&item=5107972591&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW


Also, is this something that a scanner may due? I noticed one guy, every gem 10 he had looked bowed?

    if anything, it looks like it has a slight diamond cut. without actually seeing the card up close and measuring the dimensions, it would be tough to say if it's trimmed.

    Beckett is notorious for grading sheet-cut vintage cards, and trimmed modern cards. for modern, they allow a 1/32 inch size leeway. a lot of unscrupulous losers end up trimming up their cards, sending them to BGS, and getting a ton of 9.5 Gem Mints. i'm not familiar enough with BVG to comment on the Snider, but most of the suspect BVG cards are 9's and 9.5's (due to sheet cutting, most if not all have pristine subgrades, except for the surface which is always lower)

    I have owned several high dollar BGS and BVG graded cards and all of them were completely kosher. IMO, there are two red flags here. First is this "raw card review" nonsense. Why not finish it by getting it slabbed? Second is the seller, who is notorious for pulling shenanigans.

    I've been convinced for a while that Burge, etc. have been using Raw Review as their method for getting trimmed cards through @ Beckett. Seems like others have picked up on the idea.


    I can't wait for Thursday to roll around...

    The grade doesn't show up in a scan, I'd assume... just making it so buyers can see.

    no on BVG review they hand write due to their stickers not going lower than 7.5 so 7 and under is hand written on the review fromn BGS

    Guess I have balls? Just trying to point something out, not accusing anyone of anything. However, if you want to email me privately at tsherman24@hotmail.com. I can show you an ebayer who; every card has been trimmed, all graded by gem, and all sent in by him for grading. They all look very skewed in his pics, and all are gem mint 9 or 10! I dont care about calling a fraud a fraud. image
