    Tuff to tell from a scan Chris. however with that said it appears ok to me. plenty of border. nice card what do you think it will grade?

    it is a very desirable card too.
    Good for you.

    im hoping for an 8. its a solid card. just worried about trim bc i bought it on ebay raw. im starting to like the 65 set. thinking about doing it. also like the pete rose card a lot. that will probably be my next buy.

    Chris did you try and match it up against another 65?

    sd

    it is my favorite set as well.


    Good for you.

    Chris - I was in the 5th grade at Fitzpatrick grade school in Northeast Philly when the 1965 set came out (the heyday of my card collecting as a kid) and have seen and held a fair amount of this card #134 raw. I'm not sure why but that red outline on the horizontal card, at least to my eye, can sometimes make them appear to be trimmed, even when they are not. I don't think this particular card you bought here is trimmed.

    This is also one of my favorite sets!

    To tell if it's trimmed, try measuring it first of course, and just use a desk lamp and look at the edges and look for "fuzz" that would be evident on any factory cut edge. If it measures 3.5 x 2.5 and the edges look fine and they are straight when you hold it on edge against a flat surface, send it in, especially if corners are 8 quality.
