While always a chance some of the cards are trimmed, is the sizing of these two sets known to have production (non-human altered) inconsistencies?
I can't tell you the why, but I can back up inconsistent sizing. I have collected these for years and grab them when they pop up. I assumed personally that the short cards were likely top or bottom of the sheet.

Apparently the Gibson has gone nuts since the full integration of NL stats into the MLB records.

I noticed that!

It has jumped from a couple hundred to a couple thousand over night.

The more insane jump to me is the Leyland's Josh Gibson Toleteros reprint. That was a 5-10 dollar item and one sold for 375/BO and the other current listed auctions are climbing into the hundreds as well. That is nutsville for a 2005 auction promo. I have a few and it may be time to let those go because that is definitely not going to hold.

All his modern issues seem to be in the same temporary boost that happens for a few months after a HOF dies.

That said, congrats to the current holders of a real Toleteros, I can't imagine they have not tripled in value and will likely stay there.

I put my 8 up on ebay at first as a BIN OBO. One offer, later retracted. Running now as an auction opening for a little more than the raw supposed sale, doubt it opens. Don't trust any of this stuff.

No offers at all on my raw NM MT Shakey's.

Someone is pumping, most likely. Seen this movie many times.
