I just received a 1979 Willie Stargell in the mail. To me the card looks trimmed. The seller is 71toppsman has anyone dealt with him? I don't usually buy raw, but since this card is hard to find in a PSA holder I decided to gamble and buy raw to sub. My scanners down, will try to post pic later.

    I had one dealing with him and let's just say I wouldn't buy from him again.
    Yes. I had similar results.

    I've never heard anything bad about him but will take Jim's word on it.

    I also have never bought anything from him either.

    Good for you.

    I've bought cards from him with mixed results. some over graded, some with mirco flaws and some grade out as advertised, but I think he sells enough cards that he can blend in a fair amount of trimmed cards and not get hammered for it.

    I don't buy from him anymore, but only because of overgrading. I never had anything rejected that I bought from him.

    I have bought a fair bit from him and haven't seen anything come back EOT. That being said, I have found that his cards are over-graded by a half to a whole grade. Sometimes they are on the money, but more often than not he has a high opinion of the condition of his cards. He carries stuff that I like, so I just factor the grade adjustment into my bids.
