    in the sellers defense, it looks like he has the cards in some weird kind of holders, which might make the cards appear to be trimmed.. he states that the scan of the back "doesn't show actual centering"..

    ie: his Jackie Robinson card appears to be trimmed in this picture

    But the back doesnt look trimmed..

    It almost looks like he just cropped off each side with some photo software.
  • Well, if he did that, it was clearly a mistake, now people dont want to bid because they fear the cards are altered.

    I am looking for Nolan Ryan cards, esp. OPC and rare oddball issues, graded or not. Also I need quite a few 1956 Topps, PSA 6 or higher

    Current Sets in Progress:
    1956 Topps Master Set PSA 6 or better
    1978 Topps PSA 9 or 10
    1981 Donruss Golf PSA 9 or 10
    1989 Upper Deck PSA 9 or 10
    Nolan Ryan Master Set
    Pete Rose Master Set

    MRyanF, I don't disagree at all. Look at the top left corner on the Robinson card. It seems pretty tough to get a rounded corner like that with the razor edges...even if you took out a scalpel. Looks more like a virtual scalpel to me.

  • MRyanF is right.his cards are fine(not trimmed) check his good feedback. he just doesn't know how to scan properly and is hurting his own sales.

    I'm not so sure he cropped off the rounded corners by mistake. The cynic in me suspects that he forgot to crop off the rounded corners on the reverse.

    Look at the back of the 65 Mantle. That thing has been trimmed!image

  • I don't know if the guy is a computer novice or trying to be deceptive. Either way he's done himself a great disservice in his listings.
