Funny story on this issue:

I bought a collection of 19th century boxing cards and one of them was obviously trimmed. I offered it for sale on eBay with the statement "in my opinion this card has been trimmed." I didn't trim it, so I cannot be sure what happened, but it looked trimmed to me and since I am an expert on those cards, my opinion should be credible. Heck, if any seller discloses a flaw on a card, I will take it at face value and be glad the guy is honest enough to say it. I then got a series of pissy PMs from someone demanding that I measure the card and if the measurements were ok, change the listing. I don't think I've ever seen anything like that before or since. Why not just buy it as is and if I am wrong profit on my error?
