Excellent question. Everything I've heard anecdotally is that this happened to *raw* cards back in the 1980s when a well-known T206 collector started paying premium prices for MINT examples (mint by the definition at the time).

As a result, the average size of a T206 card decreased, with a number of oversized examples being right-sized to "typical" size to achieve the MINT premium.

I am sure there are quite a few board members here who could elaborate in greater detail-
