I am not saying the card isn't trimmed. I am of the belief that the images and techniques used to demonstrate the trimming are inferior to what I would feel comfortable using to make a determination. Simply put, I don't know.
I don't want to argue the due diligence point again, so I will just say this. You can do your due diligence and be wrong. You can also not do your due diligence and be right.
I don't know if you agree, but 312's opinion carries major weight in this hobby. When BODA posts something, it is taken as gospel. And that is why they have been so very careful in making sure that everything they post is well researched and absolutely undeniable. If you're like me, when this all started I was looking at every example being posted and doing my own work to see if I agreed. Now, when I see a post by 312, Dan, or corndog, I don't bother because I have felt I could trust them unequivocally. I was guilty of that here. I looked briefly and agreed with 312 that the left corner was trimmed. But then I was surprised to see this not gain any traction. Are people so numb to this scandal that only a handful of people care about a $500k card being trimmed?
You guys can think what you want of me in questioning 312. I have asked what I think are some very reasonable questions so we can have a discussion about this card. 312 doesn't appear interested in engaging. I fully recognize I am putting my neck out there in disagreeing with 312, and if there are consequences for me, so be it.
