With a whole lot of due respect you did need to clarify a little bit about trimming. I think you are absolutely correct that 25-30 yrs ago folks didn't trim to get a better grade but we KNOW they trimmed cards for personal reasons. I am sure I read where the late Don Macpherson (sp?) trimmed cards to fit into holders when they were too big....Also, just today I learned that many larger cards had their corners clipped (as we see many that are) to fit into holders. So, no, they didn't do it for fraudulent reasons, but they (old time collectors like you, but maybe not you specifically ), did do it....regards
