Of course, we must trust everything REA writes and that the cards have been untouched - but I doubt some kid was trimming cards with his dad's straight razor. Isn't the more likely explanation that some cards were short as issued?

"has remained untouched since assembled" To me, this means since it was put together...doesn't necessarily mean that every card was pulled from the pack and untouched by the original collector. Maybe he acquired them and they were already trimmed? Seems like a possibility by the wording in the auction write up.
