Suggestion to sellers of vintage photos: Rather than trimming them because you believe it will bring more money from collectors, show images of the photo untrimmed along with a photo of it matted in black to display where you would normally have trimmed the photo. Collectors like me would be much more likely to buy an untrimmed photo, but showing its possibilities couldn't hurt.

Also, when you look at the back of a vintage photo and see where the vintage notes have been trimmed off, it's very obvious that a modern trimming has taken place.
