Why are so many T206 trimmed??

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.
Take care Jim.

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.
