anybody have an idea as to what a bobby orr rookie card that has been trimmed would go for?? the card would have probably received a psa-5 or psa-5.5. nice looking card. the card must be worth something???

It all depends... some buyers won't care as long as you are upfront about it.

How badly is it trimmed?

some? a very very small percentage wouldn't care. personally speaking a trimmed orr rookie is worth very little to me even if the remaining part of the card is in good condition. just my two cents.
 
2/20 of an inch???

Anyways I'm not convinced that it is trimmed, sometimes the cards aren't cut perfectly, and why would someone trim a card and then rough the edge up again??

Send it into PSA and see what they come up with? Or maybe this has already been done.
 
orr rc

so if you had a choice of an orr rc that was once pasted in a scrap book and removed but received paper loss on the back or an orr rc that has a trimmed border you would choose the one with the paper loss??
 
i spoke with a psa rep this morning and cards from this set measure the standard 2 1/2" by 3 1/2" no exceptions. there's off or miscut cards but they should still measure within the standard 2 1/2 x 3 1/2
 
I've gotten cards in this years SPX which were miscut and not the standard size.

Again why would someone trim only one side and then rough up the edges once again?? Doesn't make sense to me?

i don't have a clue as to why someone would do this. all i know is psa states the card should measure 2 1/2 x 3 1/2. i have had about 6 or 7 complete sets from this year and havn't had a single card that was short on one side. if this is possible than there should be some evidence and documentation showing that the cards sizes vary. if they can be smaller than they can be bigger???? if one card on the sheet gets cut smaller that the rest of the card has to be attached to another card. i don't know but i think if this was the case psa would have some info on it. i hope i'm wrong and the card is not trimmed but it appears to have been at some time.
 
If it is confirmed as trimmed by say BGS, it would receive a status as "Altered." Not really a grade, but at least one would know that it is authentic. I myself would not be interested in a trimmed or altered card, but that is just me. Someone should be able to give you a hundred bucks for it anyhow.
 
For a card like that, there's ALWAYS someone interested as long as a) you're up front in your disclosure and b) the price is right.

Personally, I think even $200 is a bit much for a trimmed Orr.
