Trimmed or Minimum Size
Is there a way to tell if a card has been trimmed or if it came from a vending box, and deemed minimum sized?
What is a give away?

Best way is to compare to a few other cards from that year. Hold the edges together and see if they are the same size.

My question is / was if there is a way to tell if a card is trimmed or cut short ( minimum sized ) . Neither will measure correctly, but what do I look for if a card was trimmed? What do I look for if it's minimum sized, and not trimmed?

Compare the color of the edges. A trimmed card will Have fresh - not aged cardboard on the outside as it has been cut away. Also the straightness of the cut. It is extremely difficult to do a good job trimming a card. Look for jagged or uneven cuts or an edge or border that isn't straight. Put the edge against a flat surface and see if it is flush. Usually a minimum size card will be miscut one way Side to side or up and down - not both. But if someone did a really good job trimming you may not be able to tell the difference.

+1. I have never thought trimming detection as an exact science.

Odds are if you send PSA a BGS Playoff Contender Tom Brady rookie you are going to be told the card is factory short.
