    Hmmm...BSI. The subject of some legendary PSA Set Registry Forum threads, no? We can only hope that this listing inspires similar wacky hijinx.

    don't worry, the server will go down minutes before auctions end. Especially if the bids don't meet the sellers expectations.

    Do you guys think that the seller knew it was trimmed?

    I think anybody with a rudimentary knowledge of pre-WWI cards could see that it was trimmed. Well, maybe a skosh more than rudimentary. I don't know much about BSI other than what I remember of the since-purged epic thread, but one would think that an authorized dealer would've noticed. Of course, one would also think that "an unbiased group of the hobby’s most experienced sports card grading experts" would've noticed.

    You really gotta hand it to this dealer with his description.

    He claims that this its the highest graded version of the card...actually he says that this its the only card from this set ever graded by PSA.

    never mind that Don Luchios has a complete PSA graded set on the registry!

    what an idiot...


    here is a scan from his set for comparison

    Upon further review, I guess it could have been a very liberal interpretation of the posted standards:



    << <i>Poor to Fair A PSA PR-FR 1 card's corners will show extreme wear, possibly affecting framing of picture. Surface of card will show advanced stages of wear, including scuffing, scratching, pitting, chipping and staining. Picture will possibly be quite out-of-register and borders may have become brown and dirty. May have one or more heavy creases. A Poor card may be missing one or more small pieces, have major creasing and extreme discoloration or dirtiness throughout. Card may show noticeable warping. Centering must be 90/10 or better on the front and back. >>



    Not sure if I'd count swaths of border as "small pieces," though.

    BSI for sure enhances the scans of his cards.I found out first hand on a BEAUTIFUL 56 Aaron card.I just wasn't quick enough to catch it in the auction.The card was nice but certainly not near as nice as what I was paying top dollar for.If you don't believe me,check out some of his auctions.I saw a 56 card yesterday that was a perfect example.Look at the vibrant colors on the card and then check the washed out color on the flip.It is as plain as day. I wouldn't put anything past him,big dealer or not !!


    Edited to say after looking at the scan of the card that RustyWilly posted,the red on the socks is an exact match for the red on the flip,isn't it ?? image

    Please be kind to me. Even though I'm now a former postal employee, I'm still capable of snapping at any time.

    that is all I have to say about that ...

    A year ago, I purchased a 60 Topps Clemente PSA 8. Beautiful scan. Paid around $400. When I got the card, there was black ink all over the upper left area that was not visible in the scan, which I now unfortunately know had been enhanced (including the white borders) and in all likelihood the black "cleaned up".

    I saw him at the National (my table was near his and I think his father) and he said that he never enhances any photo or would alter the scan. I showed him the card and the color print of the listing. He said that was the way it comes off his scanner. That might be true. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

    However, I would never ever ever ever bid on or buy another card from this PSA dealer.
