Depends on the centering. When it is so far off with borders, it is not worth it. Trimmers typically look for oversized cards that have the ability to trim to even out the card.

Are you waiting for Kurt to come out with a vintage card filler?

I agree that I am looking for cards now that have the lowest level of Shenanigans possible. Vintage cards I can inspect myself and cards that got grades that look legit. Cards with visible stains and colors that look their age.

Isn't there already a video of him filling in a pinhole? Or was that some other cardboard doctor documenting his high crimes in publicly posted videos?

Like I said, of course PSA "found nothing." They are never going to admit they missed Kurts, and they are never going to take that card out of a PSA case.

The entire reason this thread exists is because PSA did the opposite of what you are saying.

And make sure you use protection (penny sleeves at minimum). Double bagging is fine.

Untrue - the only reason they knew about it is because Kurt was dumb enough or had so much cockiness that he didn't cover the cert number

This is just PR fodder for PSA. Taking real action would tank their company.

By decertifying the card, PSA is admitting they were duped. That’s the point. It’s why this thread exists.
