Sure about that?
35 years ago I ran into a huge dealer in central Ohio that had an Xacto table in his back room. He would go through boxes of oversized vintage cards and “clean” them up for sale. I about fell over when I saw his operation. Never bought another thing from him again…. He was trimming every single card that came through oversized.
He also ripped up every undersized card and threw it in the trash regardless of value.
It was a disgusting sight.
His stuff, his choice.
My choice was never buy or sell there ever again.
