Topps T206 Buybacks

bziddy

I was wondering if anyone has tried busting these out of the 'case' they came in from Topps and submitted them. I have one or two sample that look nice inside the card -- but am not familiar with what signs to look for on older cards for modification (bleaching, trimming, etc). Just wondering if anyone had any advice or experience.

For those that aren't sure what I'm talking about -- here is an auction for one (not mine):

You can cut them out very easily. I cut and graded one that came back a 4.

Here's a great guide for judging authenticity of older cards. I think that's what you were asking: http://www.cycleback.com/baseballcards/

Thanks for that link -- I was looking for something like that.

WOW!!! That price is pretty stout considering PSA 3-4's are only selling for around $30-$50..........
