Is this Yaz rookie trimmed?

lightningboy

I purchased this Yaz rookie for what I thought was a steal. Up close, the card appears to have a decent chance at an 8 and seems to be a lock for a PSA 7. Just for reference, I paid about $80 for the card. It came back from PSA as trimmed. Do I send it in again since I would make about $150 on the card if graded a 7, or save the grading and sell as authentic and hope to make my money back? Card seems to measure up perfectly to other cards.

Let me guess, no opinions on my card????

For some reason your image isn't showing in your post.

Hard to tell from the scan. The bottom border looks a little wavy, but those '60 Topps cards did have some funny cuts. It might be worth sending it in once more. If it comes back as trimmed again, then I'd have to say that it probably is.

Looks to me like the top left and maybe top right sides could be a little bit trimmed. The top center seems higher than the ends...sharp looking card though.

Thanks for the upload

If not trimmed, would probably still get a PD qualifier due to the red smudge. Still a nice card. Would look awesome auto'd.

I'd send it back in but not by itself. If you have other cards and better yet other 60's cards that may help. It may not make a difference but others have had trimmed cards graded the second time around.

LOL - am i missing something here? Did you really expect replies in less than 1 minute?

Looks like a PSA-5 on a good day, I'd return that puppy to wherever it originated from ASAP

Doing a rough measure on the scan, the left and the right side don't appear to have the same length. If you use a ruler, or caliper, and you can see that there is a distinct difference in length, it's probably not worth the time and submission fees.

no, I was referring to the fact that I could not get the pictured uploaded in my post

thanks for the advice, I'll probably just sell as authentic.

The left & right sides aren't a straight edge, though tiny possibility of a rough factory cut (hard to tell discern from a scan).

The following corners appear trimmed:

Upper left corner
lower right corner

A bit hard to tell, as the upper edge looks like the card has a bend raising the center off the table.

Here's my take - I can't tell if it's square enough, but if it is I'd say it has a solid shot at grading well. As for being trimmed, I always find that laying it against a corner form I have made from matte board is the only way I can tell.

LOL, OK I figured it had to be something. When I looked at the time stamps though, I just had to laugh

To the goody two shoes who've never trimmed a card and yet buy raw cards, I say:

Take out a razor blade, and practice trimming a few bad condition cards. Practice fix corners, to get a straight edge.

You will learn, firstly, how it's almost impossible to get a straight edge. And secondly, the ability to recognize a trim job immediately.

Otherwise, these GTS gonna get ripped off again & again on raws.

Well, that would explain why so many cards get submitted only to get a EOT, then get resubmitted and get a grade. I wonder why those PSA folks have so much trouble seeing it right away.
