Not my card, just thought it was funny. Was on the shared order page this morning.

14323956 N1: EVIDENCE OF TRIMMING 1990 TOPPS 1 NOLAN RYAN

I recently sold two PSA 10's of this card for a combined $25. Who would trim this card?

Good answer. If nothing else, this person spent $4.50 to brighten my day a little.

"Who would trim this card?"

Practice card for certain Ebay seller(s)?

Wow, I didn't think of that Ron....good point. Maybe practicing a new cutting machine? 1990 is also one of the last years of the normal card stock, so it would be a good card to practice with the intent on doing the same to vintage. I wonder if the borders on the 1990 set are such that trimming shows more than usual?

Good call Mr. Burgandy. I did not even think of that. Amazing. It begs the question: If you unknowingly bought a trimmed card (that you later found out might be trimmed)that would otherwise be a psa 6 would you care if it was already slabbed in an 8 or 9 slab. I think it would bother me forever and would never be able to appreciate it, but that seems kind of silly really. 99% of the population would not even think twice.

I doubt anyone would trim nor do I think anyone did. IMO it was one of those that PSA erred on the side of caution.

I agree. I once had a 1988 Topps McGwire that came back evidence of trim. Odd thing was, it was a PSA crack out.

Really?
