Did they elaborate on what was actually "Altered"? Personally, when thinking back that far, I would assume trimmed over altered but maybe that is what they mean without actually saying it?
Seems odd your 2 highest valued cards got that designation? I have also heard about different sizes right from the factory but you need more experienced folks to tell you more about that.
I decided to "trim" these back in the day as I assume I was unhappy with how the corners got dinged?
