One of those rare occasions where a presumably unmolested vintage card goes from a BVG holder to a PSA holder and ends up altered.

Also, it looks like the top two corners were also "improved."

Great detective work. This amount if fraud in this hobby is scary.

And yet there’s still many (mostly flippers) who say none of it is real.

Appears the corners were tightened up a bit. Scans are not clear enough to be 100% sure but that was a very nice 7 to start off with but I see some light wear or dullness to the 7 corners that possibly were cleaned up for the 9.

Mint 9s do not usually get slabbed as 7s. So some minor issue had to have been corrected, imo.

It looks like all four corners were improved on the 1934 Goudey Boken with some distinct microtrimming on the bottom two.

[CaptSpaulding]

Appears this guy goes to corners pretty often to tighten them up. I see zero micro trimming. Card may have also had a minor wrinkle or corner bend that he popped out. He seeks cards that appear much nicer than the grade that have some minor flaw he can correct without too much effort. And flaws which once corrected would be nearly impossible to detect.

Good call. Lower right corner. You can see the slight bend better on the back.

Bottom left corner has definitely been microtrimmed--that one is the most obvious.The natural beveling that is often present along the bottom edge of 1934 Goudeys vanishes near each corner. They've both been flattened and recut.

[corndog]

This card was a little easier.
Hefty profit for Dennis Pevarnik.

He is not recutting or micro trimming the corners. He is filing them. Look at the upper right. We both know Dennis from the shows. He is not using cutting edge technology to work his cardboard.

Ok this one confuses the #@#@#@#@ out of me. I see the identifying marks on the reverse and even a few on the front but the upgraded card appears to have more bottom and top borders. The right and left are smaller on the upgraded card. Wondering if he is stretching these cards?

TBH, I have noticed that on a number of his cards.

There are many that I haven't posted yet.

Pevarnik took great interest in the 1933 and 1934 Goudeys.

Flattened/pressed and recut.

Exactly. He's not privy to Triple sSs tech. He's just pressing and trimming/microtrimming. The shape of the corners on his cards are different. I seriously doubt there'd be blacklight evidence unless he's also using a bleaching agent.
