Opinions please-

Looking on Ebay for this card and saw this one- the top of the card scares me.

    I agree, that top edge does look funky.

    I've seen many Bowman cards with similar cuts in PSA holders, especially 53's. Edges look fine.

    Even if the card is not trimmed, why not hold off for a better example. For that kind of coin, you should get an example that doesnt make you wonder.

    My thoughts exactly.

    Really? I wouldnt be able to tell either way but I gotta admit it takes away from the eye appeal-

    No doubt about it, there is another one on the bay that I hope will sell for less than this one!


    Thanks again Steve! image

    It is NOT likely altered.

    BUT, the eye appeal-issue will detract from its resale value.

    I would wait, unless I could steal it.

    I agree it appears to be a factory miscut. I too would wait for a better example.

    Unless of course this card is scarce.

    Good for you.

    Thanks guys! Well even if I dont win the other one on the Bay I will pass on this particular one- I wouldnt say this card is scarce but the HOF NFL Rookies are really in demand right now, but I think I can find another PSA 7 that appeals to me more.

    Thanks again!

    I agree to wait for a cleaner looking piece to surface, but I want to add that that is a gorgeous card IMO. I love the look of the 51's.....
