trimmed cards
I don't mind trimmed cards...to each their own. At the moment, I own one trimmed card (T206 Mathewson Dark Cap) and I don't even notice the trim job on it. The card looks to be a tad short, so to me it looks beautiful and untrimmed. Like a few people have said already, this is a card that if unaltered, I would not be able to afford. So I welcome trimmed cards if they are usually expensive unaltered.
As for the "chop jobs", they look horrible and wouldn't touch them unless they were too cheap to pass up. The gentlemen that showed us a few...the orange Mathewson looks very bad (no offense), but I can hardly look at that card!  Mike

I just find the good looking trimmed cards to have bad karma. More than likely they duped someone at one time in their life. Someone bought that card thinking it was a NM card and then found out it was trimmed and was disappointed (cheated). I don't like the karma associated with that kind of black mark on the hobby. I want my cards to be about as far away from that as possible.
Some guy sitting under a light trimming cards with a razor blade is pretty bad and I don't think should be rewarded. As bad as that Mathewson looks to you, I think it looks better than a doctored card. I think those sharp corners stick out more sorely. To each his own...
