Trimmed Cards

[Archive]

I too use only use SGC for the same reasons. I only collect T206 cards, and when I get a trimmed one back from SGC, I keep the tag and always provide it if I sell the card again. I treat trimmed cards as filler cards in my collection. Even if it has no creases and sharp corners, I consider a good condition replacement as an upgrade.

When I sell a card that appears trimmed to me, but has not been verified by a grading company as affirmatively trimmed, I state the grade, but then state, like SGC, that the card has evidence of trimming in my opinion.

I really dislike trimmed cards. They look really funny to me.
