    Seen the card a few months ago from the same seller, very nice but out of my reach.

    It looks a little off centered to me. Sure it looks ok, but not for a Gem Mint 9.5, or what I remember a gem 9.5 to be. image

    The should re-submit to get a Prestine 10!!!!!!! image

    That's the type of card that should be consigned to an auction house, not sold on Ebay.

    greed.

    I too think the card may have been trimmed.

    for 24k I want it in a PSA or SGC slab.

    If you figure in insurance for 25000.00 50.00 is not that bad.

    If you got that kinda cash you are not going to be real worried about it anyway.

    << <i>most likely trimmed...

    Ya know Ted

    That brings up an interesting point...

    Does that really matter? I know it's a sweet card post-production - but if the size is good - to me it's ok - if the hobby recognizes it.

    Same with repaired cards - if PSA and the other companies started grading repaired cards and marked - as such - again, that would be ok with me.

    I know that it's accepted in the movie collection business - movie posters e.g.

    Just a thought.

    what about rebuilt and restored artwork? thats generally accepted.
  • dizzledizzle Posts: 1,051 ✭✭
    On the subject of restoration. wasn't there a major auction house that admitted to soaking and pressing cards? I know I have recently read on a popular vintage card forum that cards that have been soaked to spruce up there apearance have no problem making it into holders with a number grade.
