Afternoon,
First before anybody starts with the Learn to Post Scans Crap...Don't. I am lucky I can use a computor to do E-Bay. (And sometimes can't)
Anyway a couple weeks ago I started a thread about getting one of my White Whales after a Nine year Mission. It was the first 1953 Topps Who-Z-At Star card ever graded in MINT 9. Out of 1066 cards sub'd, never before anything above an 8. (There are two 8.5's now).
So I have the card in hand and scanned and was asked by several members to post a scan when I got it back. So somebody PM me your E-Mail and I'll send the scans and could you plese help me and post the scans in this thread.
Secondly I sent in another card from the same set that I felt had a better chance at 9 than the one that got a 9. It came back as an 8 and in hand it still looks better than the 9. Crack and Re-Sub? In an 8 it is a $150.00-$300 card. In an 8.5 maybe $300-500+, 9 $$$ Who knows, only the second 9 ever for the set...Thousands!!! The two only 8.5's are at auction now and when they sell they will at least create some Pricing history.

Sorry, but I think these are altered. However, to be kind, I won't reject them. But they may not be allowed to leave my abode until their wrinkles set in . . . or my wrinkles stop disappearing!

I believe as well that we're dealing with evidence of restoration or at the very least , altered stock , but there also may be evidence of trimming . Better let one of the experts
