I need some quick feedback on the possible trim of this card

[wolfmanalfredo]

I didn't know what else to type in the title.

I was debating whether or not to bid on this with <20 mins remaining. I normally wouldn't hesitate with this as I beleive it would grade an 8, so I'd buy it to crack the case and send off to PSA.

Whats holding me back is the fact that the card looks trimmed to me. I'm comparing it to my Blyleven Rc's, and other 71 topps that I've got. It just looks like the left and right sides are too narrow. It could also be the scan, but I'm still hesitant.

Any feedback would be great. I know its not a 10 as this "grading company" states, but it looks like a clean 8 to me, so that could be a great addition to my Blyleven PC as the highest graded Rc I have of him is a 7.

Thanks for any quick response I can get.

too clean to be "natural"

I personally wouldn't touch any graded cards that aren't BGS, PSA, or SGC. And possibly ***.

Yea, its ridiculously hard to get high grade cards out of this set. Its not unheard of, but hard.
Looks to me like the guy had some chipping on the card(very common in this set) and "cleaned it up" a little bit, then went ahead and sent it off to a 3rd rate grading company to see what he could get.

I guess I'm not the only one who thought it looked wierd. Normally an 8 goes for around 200 or more. I'm all sure some where scared off because of the company its graded by

That usually how I see it. I don't trust the grade at all, but looks good enough to be an 8 or better. I always stay away from those companies including ***

even *** pretty much sucks. ESPECIALLY the white "curved" flips

Yes, they're questionable. However, there's worse companies out there.
