Judge Dred (Fred)Vintage trimmed? Could you imagine being a kid back in the early 1900's and complaining to your dad that the Cocoa card you got was short or shorter than others? Maybe collectors cut down the larger size E cards to match the more prevalent T206 cards. I honestly believe that some cards were just cut differently than others. The idea of a minimum size requirement for grading may be good in most cases but it has probably precluded authentic factory "short" cut cards from being encapsulated some 90 years later.
Oops, another deviation from the main topic, sorry.
