I saw Eric posted a link to this on Twitter so I watched it. I think they should have made it a feature because I believe a lot was left out. a 14-minute short I assume left out a lot of juicy details and makes me wonder.

For instance, what is the proof of the trimming. I don't doubt there is evidence to support the claim, but I'd love to know more about it. They said many of the cards were different sizes, so did PSA determine the card to be find as others were similar sizes and the trimming job was perfect?

Still an amazing part of sports memorabilia history.
