Is this the same card?

BorderRat

Been reading the PSA message boards for about one year but have not posted until now. I am working on the 1955 AA Set in PSA 8 and I am 71% done.

I purchased a Frank Sinkwich PSA 8 this morning with buy it now and did not due my usual background checks until later today. I found a raw example that sold about 10 days ago that looks very similar to the one graded PSA 8.

I do not know either dealers and I am not accusing anyone of wrong doing but any help would be appreciated. I know the same thing happened about one month ago with a O'Rourke PSA 8. The ebay numbers are 5125638762 and 5130732669, sorry I do not know how to do the links.

Thanks in advanced for any help and the great reading over the last year.

maybe it's me, but that raw example sure appears to have rounded corners!

The graded card has more border on the bottom than does the raw card.
So unless someone has perfected reverse trimming, it doesn't appear to be the same card.

By the way, welcome.

Welcome to the boards
I agree with Wolfbear - if your concern is that the graded card is the raw card trimmed, the bottom boarders don't bear that out.

Maybe it's the scans, but the vividness and the toning on the borders seem different, as well.

The green tone appears to be different.
