About 10 years ago, I decided to start collecting trimmed cards as a way of getting cards I couldn't afford otherwise. Early on, it was easy to pick up great cards at cheap prices — I bought T206 HOFers with sharp corners for as low as $50 each. Now those same cards go for twice as much or more. The other day, I was outbid on eBay for a trimmed T206 Walsh that went for about $180. I saw it a week later at a card show for $400. As far as I can tell, altered cards are gaining more acceptance ...
