Would you destroy a trimmed card?

[ullmandds]

as much as i detest altered cards...it'd be quite foolish to destroy them?! like throwing $$$$ away?!?! i rid them from my collection by selling/trading them.

Absolutely not.

BTW, anyone have trimmed cards they don't like, send them to me and I promise not to release them back into the hobby

Although its trimmed, it's still a card. That'd be like destroying all cards with creases because you collect crease free cards. For a piece of cardboard to last 100 years +, why destroy it? There is still value in it. You said an abundant T206, but why should it be treated any different than any other card? One day, it may be the last remaining survivor. Would you destroy a 1/1 because some collector trimmed it 30 or 40 years ago? Just use full disclosure and sell if you don't want it. It's not a fake or reprint, it's just been trimmed to look nicer. No harm in that as long as there's transparency.

no way would I ever destroy any original vintage card. That's just destroying a piece of history as far as i'm concerned. If all the trimmed, skinned, removed from scrapbook-type cards were taken out of the hobby, many folks would be priced out of owning many vintage turn of the century and prewar cards.

The number of altered prewar cards in the world will never go down....just up. If we destroy them, we are killing what we love.

"The Card" would be the 1st ta go! Whaaaat... ;-)

Some of the Nicest Cards that I' have seen have been Trimmed,
Like "The Card"!

iN This Realm... We are Care Takers of History.
Why... for the Love of the Game, would you destroy that in which you Love?

Better Trimmed than "NoT".

Not unless it was from the 1980s or 1990s.
