I do remember reading a thread on Blowout forums that discussed this topic as well. There is however no evidence that this seller trims his cards. Furthermore, Star cards vary in size. Even the Jordan #101 is shorter compared to the others. Here is what I found on basketballgold.com:
FAQ: Why does the #101 appear to be short?
Answer: Most #101's were in fact cut shorter than other cards. The #101 was located in the top, left corner of the sheet which lead to centering issues and caused over 90% of the cards to be cut shorter. Someone telling you a #101 you own, but have not yet graded, is short could be an unscrupulous person trying to take advantage of you and buy it cheaper. The larger size #101's are referred to as full-size #101's and measure 3.5 inches from top to bottom. While the #101 is notoriously off-center, well-centered #101's in fact exist but the card often suffers from Diamond cut issues.
