I had to dig more than I've had to in awhile to find decent stuff this weekend. But I did come home with some nice cards. Here's Round 1, including some football. I'll post two more rounds in between pieces of pizza.

The 61 DeMerit and 54 Martin cards look trimmed....
I hope not, but does anybody else see that?
Great cards for the most part, but some of the Bowman edges look kind of rough.....
Maybe it's just your pics???
Thanks for sharing.

I agree the '61 Demerit looks unusual, but I think the '54 Martin is fine. The card I am most suspicious of, however, is the '61 Starr. I got it for a good price but thinks it may be trimmed off the top edge.
We'll find out soon, because most of these are going to PSA tomorrow.

PS. Yes, many of the '54 Bowmans have rough cuts and I love 'em that way!

Yes, the right border on the DeMerit (across from his cheek) is bulging outward a little.
In a related story, PoppaJ has fit in here seamlessly in a very short time, and I find his posts to be informative and enjoyable.

Hi Nick,
I appreciate the kind words....
Though I'm not new to the business, I am a rookie of the boards.
Many great guys here ....

I'm just buttering you up for one of those 1952 Topps Mantles you have.
Aric, definitely take a magnifier with you. You have to be willing to dig through piles of stuff to find a few gems. That's just how it is these days.

Hey Ron,
Great cards as usual. Some real beauties you have posted.
I've handled/owned a lot of '61 Starr's, I think you're correct, the top or bottom edge looks a little uneven. It might be cut or miscut. Does it measure short?
Also with the right edge bulge on your '61 Demerit I would wager that PSA will not grade it and call it a miscut. I've had at least a few dozen vintage cards with the exact same look over the years. PSA has always called them miscuts.
What's strange is even if the card is miscut, it's not trimmed, but for some reason PSA doesn't want to put these cards into holders with the mylar baggy for some reason. I've been meaning to ask Joe O about this issue but I always forget to. This year at the National I will get his take on the reason for the non-slabbed miscuts and let you guys know.
Good luck with your grades on these Ron.

Looks like someone was re-recording "Superstition" and "I Just Called To Say I Love You" in between grading these. The last four, the F. Robby, and the Schoendienst are right, everything else was butchered (including, apparently, the rest of the '61 Topps football).
