REA Lot #201 - T206's - Trimmed?
REA Lot #201 is a nice partial set of 325 different T206's that were collected in 1910 and "has remained untouched since assembled" - saved by the family. That's so cool - untouched for over 100 years. My issue is that the description of key cards identifies at least 8 cards as "trimmed".
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?
