Indirectly, I would say Jim Copeland is responsible for most the trimming that went on in the late 80s. He was paying such insanely high prices for high grade cards that every dealer without a soul was trimming his HOFers and desirable cards to sell to Copeland. It's becuase of this that the grading companies finally had some momentum to get going and stay in business.

This is main reason we have all these 'short' cards now
