Guy sent cards to BGS then PSA then trimmed one and sent to PRO. Good read.

    Wow, PRO sounds like a card doctors dream. I think I will stick with PSA.

    so I grabbed one, put it on a piece of lumber I have in my shop, put a steel ruler along the edge of the card, and sliced off the bottom with a craft razor.

    This is an interesting article... I've never actually trimmed a card before, and always thought it was much tuffer to do. I always thought it would involve a high-dollar highly-sophisticated machine (laser) to trim a card. Interesting.... but I doubt I'll be experimenting on anything in the near future and sending them to PRO.

    ALWAYS Looking for Chris Sabo cards!

    great story and pretty much says it all with respect to PRO. Thanks for the link.

    I believe that article is at least 6 or 7 years old. It pops up from time to time.
    I don't think Pro has changed their ways much. Is there any question why
    they get no respect in the grading world?
