Gretzky OPC RC

I've had this since I was a kid collected the year it came out. I can't say for sure I pulled it from a pack or if I traded for it etc. But I know I have had it since I was 10 years old. I sent it to PSA about six months ago and it came back marked evidence of trimming. I was stunned. I can say for sure that none of us who collected cards back than cared about centering, corners etc we just wanted to collect the entire set. None of us would have ever thought to trim a card, hell we didn't think this card was any more valuable than any other card in the set. I will likely try send it in again at some point.

    If you dont think its trimmed. Send it in again.
    My opinion though is the edges look a little to smooth for this issue, and or it looks miscut LR or something. Right edges goes from small to big. and left edge looks small to big to small.
  • Happy to welcome another member to the sad EOT club. Having similar issues :-(
  • That card looks legit to me. I have a set OPC 79 made from packs in the early 80's and some of them have razor sharp edges.
    It may not be common but they are definitely around. The tilt your card shows is common for the year.

    It is easy to see the difference between a recent cut on a card and original edges but you need at least 20x magnifying power.
    It would be nice to see PSA start using that.
