<< <i>Card measures perfectly 2-1/2 x 3-1/2 so I can asure you it is not trimmed >>





That statement, the great brand name of "Sports Collector's Dimension, and the private feedback make me feel very "asured".

    If it was "not trimmed" it would have been sent to a real grading service in order to get a much better price.

    Clever to use a reputable acronym. So what's next -- PSA 9 (Plastic Slab Association) ?

    WOW and 27 exclamation points, private auction, 7 feedback seller that in his description swears the card is not trimmed. NO ONE bid.

    Can you blame them?

    Is there really a grading company named Sports Collectors Dimension?

    And if there is, did the owner of the company start the company himself so he could insert his owned trimmed cards.

    Once upon a time, I went to the "big show" in Pittsburgh. Hundreds and hundreds of dealers. This one dealer had a '58 Mantle, '55 Clemente, etc. and I wanted them in the worst way. So, I pulled out my brief case and my Jordan rookie, and a handful of Marino rookies, and a bunch of Montana rookies and made the trade on one condition . . . I could have several of the other dealers check out the cards to ensure they were legit . . . off to the other dealers: 707, Mr. Mint, Shoebox, Greg Bussineau, etc. And all of them measured them and said, "Looks great." I made such a good trade. Off to PSA the two cards went and back they came, "Evidence trimmed."
    Yep, $3000 mistake.
    I'll learn someday.

    Well, this card sold on ebay for 999$ with the a private ID - I had emailed the seller for the dimensions of the card - he stated it was 3.5 x 2.5.
    Just got an email from his today:



    << <i>Mike I still have the scd 9 mantle for sale let me know if you are interested. I can asure you 110% it is not trimmed guaranteed. I can give a god deal on it >>


    Does this mean if I don't want it...he is going to give God a deal on the card?
