Just a suggestion to anyone who cannot tell if a raw card is trimmed or altered--pay a bit more and buy the card already graded and save yourself disappointment, time and frustration. Card may still be trimmed or altered but it is in a holder making it easier to sell down the road and less likely a chance you will lose money.

Thanks for the info. About 4 years ago I bought a nice raw '61 Topps, submitted it and it came back evid of trimming. It was the same size as other 61's but apparently the reason was as you stated.
That was my last raw card purchase.
