Misunderstood

im not familiar with it but it appears to be cut in half. I have no idea on the vcp on it but odds are the seller gave a false bv.

My first thoughts are pretty much looking at the back it is just an issue like goudey and it isn't full size, like I said I am not familiar with the issue though.


First post was I thought you meant trimmed not actually "cut"

I looked on VCP ... the picture they have is exactly the same as the one listed on ebay ... there is NO border on the bottom. I have no idea if this is how the card originally came, but it is listed the same way on the VCP website. BTW, the ONLY sales that show up are for one PSA "authentic" and one SGC "authentic". $780.00 and $920.00 respectively.

Sounds like the seller has an accurate "Beckett Value" from those high authentic results.

The rarest card from the set. It was short-printed, and the "prize" from the set. Thus, whenever one was found, it usually completed the set which was turned in and redeemed. The cards were either cut, like this example of Icy Andrews, or there was a diamond hole punch in the middle of the card. It is the rarest card from the set, but the BIN is high for this example.

Here is some information on the R300 set from the 2009 Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards

1933 George C. Miller (R300)

George C. Miller & Co. of Boston, Mass., issued a 32- card set in one-cent packs of toffee1933. The set, which received limited distribution, consists of 16 National League and 16 American League players. The cards are color art reproductions of actual photographs and measure 2-3/8" x 2-7/8". Two distinct variations can be found for each card in the set. Type 1 cards have the names “Fox” and “Klien” misspelled
on the back, while Type 2 cards have them correctly as “Foxx” and “Klein.” Collectors were advised on the card backs to collect all 32 cards and return them for prizes. (Ivy Andrews’ card was short-printed to avoid giving out too many prizes.) The cancelled cards were returned to the collector with the prize. Two forms of cancellation were used; one involved the complete trimming of the bottom one-quarter
of the card, the other a diamond-shaped series of punch holes. Cancelled cards have a significantly decreased value.

thanks for the info!

Its worth about $950-$1000. The bin is double what you can find them for.
Supposedly there are only 2 or 3 fully intact, uncancelled examples.
