So I just got the 1948-49 leaf dimaggio I bought. Let me say it is a really nice card... Bought it from an online auction house who had it listed as trimmed. When I emailed to ask which edges were trimmed the owner of the site said it had appeared to be manual cut from the sheet instead of how they are typically cut... Guess from a machine. He said he did not think it was done with any malicious intent(ie to make it more centered or appear to be in better condition).. And I agree because I measured the card and it is 2 3/8 x 2 7/8 which the leaf cards should be. The only slight evidence I see is the top edge dips down ever so slightly, I mean I can hardly tell at all... And I'm still not sure it dips because it is so little. I am gonna include the card in my sgc order, however.. My question is should I ask it to be authenticated and slabbed right off the bat or see if it can get a numerical grade because as I said I'm not even sure why it was sold as being "trimmed" when I cannot find any evidence of this.... Thank you
