Go back to one of the trimming threads...there were a few who didn't mind owning trimmed comics...

Jim

Maybe there's somebody who doesn't mind a owning trimmed book if they pay a "restored" price for it. But show me one person who would be happy with a trimmed book if they paid the "non-restored" price for it.


There are colectors who would not care. Someone who buys books strictly to read, and has no intentions of ever selling has no reason to care. I have met people like this. These are collections that will not be seen until the owner passes. And the people who get the collections next will be the ones who are let down by what the books are worth.

So you're basically saying there are collectors who don't care if they get ripped off.


Yes, as long as they have a slab with a blue label and a high number.

There's nothing stopping (to my knowledge anyway) Ewert coming on these boards with a complete list of books he trimmed. How would you feel if you owned one after spending thousands of dollars for it and now it was worth a fraction of the price you paid?

There's nothing stopping (to my knowledge anyway) CGC coming on these boards with the complete list of Ewert submissions...
