Another sub that got hammered..

in Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum
I submitted a bunch of cards that my friends wanted. Most of them were from the Classic Images football sets. These had the metallic foil type fronts and glossy backs. I had a bunch that are coming back evidence of trimming. WTF? These were packs rips by me and my friends. I took a 20x loupe and checked all 4 sides of all the cards I sent in to make sure they were square-not pinched or jagged or anything else that would (Why would I trim $1.00 cards? Better yet, why grade those cards? These were for their personal collections-what can I say, they like them slabbed). One other card coming back as Evid of Trim is an acetate card. Those edges turn white if you nick them or even look at them funny.....I don't get it.
Here's my brutal submission....The first card with the EXAMPLE is the slot cut Ripken with black box. This is the last time I have Stevie Wonder pre-grade my cards before sending them out. Just ranting, not really complaining, just a bit perplexed. I still like my cards in their PSA holders.

    I'm not on par with some people here for 1989 Fleer, but I've had some limited success. Of the 20 or so I've sent in, I'm probably about 50/50 9's and 10's. I've noticed that they are "very" critical on the back of the card. A lot of them have rough cuts on the back that are not immediately evident on the front. Perhaps that's the case with some of those? Centering is always a problem with those, but I'm sure you accounted for that. Regardless, I feel for you. That sucks to expect better grades and see that happen.

    There you go trimming 1994 cards again! Why don't they just say Minimum Size not met and give you a voucher? That drives me nuts...

    Sorry you do get what you were hoping for....still, looks like a pretty nice and profitable submission overall. I think you problem was you only submitted one Steve Young card.

    Does the 91 Hoops in Gem Mint really have that much value where a grader would actually believe that someone would take the time to do that?

    Per my email with Joe Orlando, I sent back the evid of trim cards to him. I also included about 10-15 other cards from the same set that had the same square edges. I'm not holding my really sure what'll happen, but it sure was a great gesture on Joe's part. He didn't have to do anything, but he did.
