Hello, wondering what the approx. value range a 1952 Topps Willie Mays SGC Authentic with evidence of trimming would be. Vintage veterans, please let me know your thoughts, thanks.

I'd comp it like 15-25% less than the other "Authentic" Examples. I don't think the trim job impacts this greatly given it appears "period/non-malicious" but most buyers are gonna want the summary/stats on the back. (seems most "full card" Authentics are in the 2-2400 range; I'd think about $15-1900 on this one)

Thank you. Fair assessment, value might be a bit on the high side. Any other opinions?

I think right around $1500 is where it would go. If someone wants that card, they will definitely pay it. Someone paid over $1500 that is moldy all over.

For reference, I just sold this one for $2115.

I would think it is in the 1500 range. Tough to find one for cheaper than that, but that is a pretty gawd-awful copy if I'm being honest.

$1500 is probably pretty close,i would spend the extra $500-700 and get a number grade card.
