You should never alter the card in any way. I'm not an expert on this set, but I think everyone will agree that cutting or trimming a card is a bad idea.

I will take the devil's advocate side though and say it's not always cut and dry. That strip is not uncommon and I would have less of a problem with cutting it than some other things done in our hobby. As I stated, I still would leave it alone but it's not overwhelming.

Default Keep it whole, even though...
Although I am against cutting strips that have somehow made it intact up until now, I thought I would point out that this particular strip is only nine cards, and thus has already had a card removed (Sisler).

Brian

PS. Don't be a cutter

I would rather own the individual cards. I think it probably better not to cut. You can always cut it later. You can never uncut it.

Leaving it uncut makes it more susceptible to damage.

That said, I have been known to cut one now and then. It's not very sophisticated but ultimately can be preferable to not cutting one.

If you have scissors in hand, put them down; then pick up a black light and use that.

If you want cut cards, then collect them, but cutting that to get cut cards isn't the way to get there. That shouldn't be cut. You can always find the cut cards, you can't always find that.

Default If you are trying to maximize $
Cut it. Cutting cards intended to be cut out is not wrong regardless of what some may think. If you are a collector leave it as is. Its easy for all these others to tell you to leave money on the table, which is what leaving a strip intact when selling is doing rather then cutting up, if right size top to bottom. Nothing wrong with making a few bucks though some on here frown on that unless they are the ones profiting from cards.
