warshawlawI have owned several T206's that are ex or ex+ and that I am sure are not in any way trimmed. So, I think it is a bit over the top to suggest that every higher grade specimen is altered. That being said, I do believe that many, many of the PSA 7 and up cards are altered. I also believe that my SGC 80 Waddell portrait is altered, which is why I won't even try to sell it. Personally, I stay away from high end baseball T cards unless I can inspect them personally then send them in for slabbing. I'd rather have a bunch of 4 and 5 cards that show honest wear on all corners than a supposedly near mint card that I can never be sure of.
