Do alleged trimmers trim cards bought from other trimmers? The answer is yes. Here Moser bought a 1951 Topps Ringside from Mike and Mark Skerbe of Triple sSs Sportscards, who 3124508 exposed as card doctors HERE and HERE. Moser, however, did not get a grade bump from PSA and lost money for himself and PWCC. The borders were trimmed on both left and right, as noted in the pink boxes. The blue circle shows one of the two distinguishing black marks on the card. The other one, featuring the lower left corner, is enlarged and boxed in red at the bottom of the image.
Look how much closer that black mark is to the left edge in the PWCC PSA 7 on the right compared with the sSs card on the left. This is another card sent to me via anonymous e-mail tip.
