    rough left edge. at least from the scan, I'd be disappointed if I bought this card and saw that edge.

    Rough cut doesn't bother me a bit. Looks like a smokin' card! But moogity??? What in the heck is moogity??? image
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    where was this recent 1954 wax pack find? most people cannot open a 1987 pack without problems and this guy gets a 50+ year old card in a pack and is gem mint?

    I wonder why the other cards from the 'pack' are not up on ebay as well? Just other Banks stuff.

    Nice card though.

    I believe the rough cut on the edges are suppose to be normal for the 54 Topps. I think to a point where they even use it a gauge against trimming like they do with older OPC cards. I think it's a great looking card and would not be disappointed at all. The price however,.....................well, it'll never happen with me anyway.

    Actually the original seller had a number of cards from the open packs listed as graded singles. There were a couple 10's and mostly 9's. 1954 Topps are absolutely stunning in this pristine grade.

    I hate rough cuts, they just make the card look ugly. Glad others like them as it saves the smooth cuts for me.

    If I remember correctly, this card came from a Mastro auction.
    The Mastro people went to someone's house, who had found an unopened box. They opened a pack, got these GEM MINT cards, and had them graded. Mastro had all the other material up for auction, as well.

    I kind of like rough cuts on '54's, shows they were factory cut.
    312 is the easy grader though image
    Wonder if this came from those boxes of '54's Mastro got. Betting it was.

    So this guy won the card a few months back in the Mastro auction and has it up for sale already? I didn't check to see if it's the same cert # since I didn't keep the catalog and the Mastro website is down while they move their office. I wonder why he's selling so soon?

    There are only 2 cards that I would even consider paying over $50,000 for, and this is not one of them.

    Rough Cuts = Not Trimmed, hence I like them... Also means it was almost never handled.

    Awesome. I like the rough-cuts too for some reason. I dunno.

    It's amazing that stuff like this survived the years, or that someone had a few old packs laying around untouched through the years. Makes me wanna go do some garage sale hopping... image

    Superb card.

    And some would say the slight rough cut ads a "real" feel to the card.

    I like it! But, not for the kind of money.

    Anthony, I know that's a good thing - to know they were factory cut and little chance of being trimmed ... but I just don't like the look...just a personal eye-appeal thing.

    Nice card. but the left edge next to his ear where it dips in would lead me to believe that spot is trimmed? Or was the card size just all over the place on this set?

    Here we go again, someone has a card, many of you would love to have, and you have to bash what the seller is asking for it, regardless of when and where he bought it at, and not to mention, expect said seller to ship it to you free. If I went to an auto dealer, and bought a $50,000+ Escalade, I still would have to pay a destination fee, sales taxes, and even registration!!! If the seller can get $50,000+, or even $30,000+ for it, more power to him/her, I am sure, down the line, someone would pay that much for it!!! If anyone of you had that card, submitted it, and only received an 8 or 9, you would be hell bent on resubmitting it too!!!

    BTW, this is for the people who are bashing it, not the ones who would love it, but just would not spend the cash on it!!! If I had $30,000+ to spend, I can start a fund to pay for the education of a future kid of mine, or invest it. That is too much money for my needs to spend on a piece of cardboard!!!!

    I am confused, if you go on Ebay right now you will see that exact same Banks up for bid with a BIN of $39k. It looks like it already went for 16k more. Maybe I am just tired?

    That's right... i remember now, this is the scmuck that got all bent out of shape a few months back because we had asked for photo's of the back of the card and he wouldn't do it. There is a thread somewhere on that auction a few months back. I guess the card never sold. This seller works at or owns a ticket agency in chicago if memory serves me. I recall him selling season tickets for cubs games.

    Here we go again hearing someone complaining about complaints. Now I am complaining about your complaining. Whoa I'm dizzy. So what people have opinions. Let them be. Are we all supposed to give compliments and watch Mary Poppins?
