You're lucky as I had a higher snipe set but pulled it after I got the Lambo Red the night before and unfortunately felt that the card was trimmed. It's an amazing card nonetheless and if he's as good as advertised it'll be a cornerstone of your collection. I'll have to get my raw copy graded now and see if I can match it.
Congratulations and Happy Birthday!
Thanks Greg. Did you get the Lambo from the same seller? I went through 3 months seller history of his and didnt see one sale involving a graded card, so he didnt seem like a trimmer to me. I tried to put the card in photoshop and count pixels, but its tough with scans and Im not great at that in the first place. If altered cards are being graded, what protection do buyers have?
I didn't get the Lambo from the same seller and got a raw one so hopefully it's in good shape. The Kershaw you got is amazing either way as it's a red and he's such a top prospect. I went through this with Flight for awhile and even though I decided not to go for it I wouldn't have been upset if I'd changed my mind. One part of me says stay away because it might be altered then another part says who cares as it's still an ultra rare card of a huge prospect. It's also got a grade so no matter what I or anyone else says you can't take that 10 away. It's a shame we all have to question these cards and that some trimmed ones get through the grading process but the bottom line is if you're happy with the card who cares.
Congrats and happy birthday again.
