extra cardboard hanging off corners

uxrelon74 · June 15, 2014 12:04PM

Does anyone know what to do about these pesky extra threads? appearing especially on topps 87 as well as score 88 cards...

I recommend scissors, cut the card in half and throw in the trash.

Now that is funny! Mean, but funny

I hate those pesky bits of extra cardboard or fuzz at the corners of some cards. I used to very carefully try to remove the extra piece by putting it between two finger nails, but it's a delicate process. For what it's worth, PSA generally does not downgrade for this issue.

I enjoy junk wax as much as anyone, but even I draw the line at 87T & 88S.

Iv'e performed such surgery using tweezers. Works well. No latex gloves required.

draw the line all you want Lark, but I'm not about to trash a $100 Glavine that's otherwise a 10. I've heard some PSA graders act like elitists, is that fun for you too?

I have a 1948 Leaf Sid Luckman that's a $500,000 PSA 10 if not for slightly rounded corners, minimal wet-transfer and being a little off-center...

Hold it up to the light and see who it voted for

If you can get $100 for that card, I hope you also bought this one for $10.

Although, I agree that this is a pesky extra thread.

I remember back in 88 when Score fixed the corner issue with their baseball cards, some card stores started trying to charge more for them saying they were going to rare.

Scissors work well if you have a steady hand. Thankfully, it sounds like you have a lot to practice your technique on before you get to the Glavine.

uxrelon74 · June 17, 2014 6:56AM

yeah, have tried to cut others in the set (obviously) but it seems to nick the card itself regardless..Although one guy suggested that PSA wouldn't mind the excess, I'm not sure I'd sub it. Seemed like an issue that at least one of you would have dealt with... I'll try & upload a pic tonight in case someone can help.

actually, I prefer the final price on this one miklia http://www.ebay.com/itm/1988-Score-Glossy-Tom-Glavine-Rookie-PSA-GEM-MINT-10-/181414995067?pt=US_Baseball&hash=item2a3d2d247b&nma=true&si=I1bxvPxSLWboO8VF6isBgrQcsKA%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 ...people like you are time wasters and ruin the point of the forum for everyone. I asked a simple legitimate question and you have to try and belittle me, loser.

The $124 Glavine RC is the glossy version.

Weird.

Why so much?

EDIT: did not see Grote's post...gotcha.

+1, none of the regular versions have sold for more than $35ish.
