If the primary concern is how to detect a trimmed card in an online sale, assuming a good photo or scan of the item is available, would it not be possible to use some sort of ad lib measuring tactic on the scan itself to determine the relative size? That is, knowing the scale of certain features on a pristine example of the card set, such as the team name, relative to the actual length or breadth of the untrimmed card I would think would allow you to make a similar measurement on the screenshot of the suspect card to see if it measures up (or down). What do you think? Maybe not precise enough.
