Topps cards from �52 through �80 can vary in size without being altered.

Check the edges for even oxidation. Although not perfect, this is a good way to tell if a card has been trimmed recently.

If possible, take a look at a stack of other cards (preferably commons of relatively low value) from the set. Study them, use a loupe, get familiar with the fine details. Develop an eye for the way the edges look in their natural state. Again, this isn�t perfect. However, you�ll more easily spot trimmed cards this way.
