Would you be able to detect a trimmed T206 card that was, as trimmed, properly sized?

The short answer to your question is no...I personally would not be able to tell.

Having said that, I think an expert would be ae to spot a trimmed card, even if it measured properly. There would almost certainly be something different about the edges (and perhaps the corners) when compared to an unaltered example.

+1 on that.. I've read the old "how to detect trimming" threads multiple times, bought 2 different loups and looked at raw cards (Goudeys and T206) I knew to be trimmed as compared to ones that weren't and still could not tell difinitively. Hoping to one day graduate to "expert" but until then I'll cross my fingers and hope the holdered cards I've pick up are not trimmed.
