Disclose, disclose, disclose. It's not up to the seller to decide which value-effecting material information the buyer should receive, in particular as it relates to how an item has been physically altered decades after it was made.

And if you think there's nothing wrong with a 1933 card sheet cut in 2015, great. If you want to specialized in modern cut cards because you consider them just as valid, go for it. That's a perfectly valid personal collecting sentiment. And if you think a 2015 reprint is just as pretty and is just as valid to you as a 1933 original, that's perfectly fine personal judgment-- but that doesn't excuse you from disclosing that a card you're selling is a reprint.

Once a card is in a holder, there is no such thing as disclosure.

Its unfortunate but you are correct

I should qualify my statement slightly. I have seen REA descriptions where Rob has opined that despite being graded, a card is trimmed. That may have been confined to the Harris Collection, I don't recall now. But in any event, I don't think I have seen anyone else offer an independent opinion (unless it be that the card is undergraded). EDITED TO ADD I also remember that Rob identified some numerically graded Ramlys as sheet cut.
