There was once a big named collector in the 80s paying $100 for near mint examples of T206s. This caused a craze in looking for oversized cards to be trimmed to appear nm. Many 206s are still larger than the quoted size.

I know that a lot of the card doctors started rearing their ugly heads when Copeland was paying a premium, but I think the responsibility lies with the doctors. Anyway, this is a pointless dispute.

IMHO, the phenomenon is by no means limited to raw T206s, and I have seen innumerable E cards in holders that at least to my unexpert eye looked trimmed.

I agree responsibility lies with the doctors not the collectors who desire the high grades. trimming is pure greed.
When I was a kid I trimmed my 56 Clemente to fit in the plastic sheet and I still have that card... I just didn't know-I was about 10
