They are great for those of us that don't care about condition. If selling them expect not to get much for them. Nothing wrong with selling a trimmed card as long as you let everyone know it is trimmed.

The production quality and QC were pretty bad at Topps. Back when dealers had boxes full of 70's stuff just boxed with no sleeves I used to deliberately look for cards that were a bit "off" cards that were a tiny bit short or narrow I usually ignored as I was looking for more interesting ones. I did get a couple oversize cards, and some other really odd stuff. Not as often as you'd think.
Even crooked edges can be factory. And I saw someone at the LCS pull a card from a classic pack that was literally torn in half. (The shop gave him a new pack free. ) The size of the card isn't the tell for trimming, although it can make it obvious. It's how he edge looks and feels. Grading won't grade anything strange, but I think that's more about appearances. Lately I wonder if they can even tell. I do have a handful of cards I know are trimmed, but most are prewar. Any modern ones, and I do have a handful that are are obvious. Like totally missing borders obvious. On most commons, I would just relax and call it Topps being Topps. There just isn't time to obsess about measuring every card. In general, I'd look at the circumstances of how I bought it. If it was a single card I was buying for full retail, then yeah, I'll check a little maybe.. If I buy a box full of cards at the flea market? Not really. Something like he batch of 75s I saw a few years ago that were all over the place for size, I just didn't buy.

I also have seen plenty of trimmed cards on eBay. They just tend to say so using more “colorful terms” than just admitting it’s trimmed. Any reference at all means 100% it’s trimmed and it’s a CYA for the seller. “Possibly trimmed” “Seems short top to bottom” “May be thin left to right” “Size seems off” “May be altered” Etc, etc, etc…
