312's post has permanently casted doubt on this card. We're not talking about a $1000 card that SSI guy obviously trimmed. We're talking about half a million dollars in cardboard being outed as trimmed with no associated trimmer.
Sorry 312, you did a poor job vetting the card. I just hope you had the courtesy to let the buyers personally know you made a mistake before going public.
If Dan and corndog would weigh in, I think that would help. Ultimately what helps most is having the card measured out. If it measures short, that is concerning. If it measures appropriately, I wouldn't hang my hat on a poor quality 14 year old scan with dirt covering the corners.

We can agree to disagree. I’m good with that. I don’t really think it’s in dispute, especially the edges but to each his own.
What I do take issue with is with is calling out 312. It seems like people are blaming him for this and it comes across horrendously. Like this is his fault when all he’s doing is middle-manning information he has available to him at the time. The fact that others are relying on his opinion and ability to gather information should be the ultimate red flag and the purchaser should really look inward onto themselves and question if they want to take that risk. Again, anybody who’s handled the 03/04 Exquisites should realize that 99.99% of the cards did not come out Gem-Mint. They just flat out didn’t.
