There is no denying the card was trimmed somewhere between rookies and Eric. Sohrob is also the middleman in Verona's lost Exquisites where he submitted Exquisites for Verona. It appears his job included cracking out cards for resubmission as well as submitting raw cards. Maybe he is well known in the high-end community, I dont know maybe there are a bunch of sohrob-types but it appears he knows at least a handful of high-end guys to provide a service where he preps and sends cards off to be graded to BGS. I think we can all now speculate that "prep" included trimming. The extent to which his clients knew exactly what he was doing is a grey area but is something we should all hope to learn more about. I dont know where that information is going to come from, unfortunately. At this point, what does Eric have to gain by coming out here other than to say he's not the trimmer. I just hope that these are isolated instances but based on the overall mood from the high-end community it almost feels as if it was common knowledge.

My biggest take from this thread is that either now, or at some point, Eric has owned two Lebron Exquisites /99 that have been trimmed. If this were any other person in the Hobby, they'd be crucified immediately. Middleman or not, it's impossible to ignore Eric's involvement (voluntarily or involuntarily) in this situation.
