Post Cereal Box Card Questions

Posted By: Trae

I recently purchased a 62' Mantle Post #5 card, how do I determine if it is #5A or #5B? I am not sure what that is in reference to in the Beckett Online Guide. The card simply says 5 on the back, and there is no plain #5 in the beckett guide. Also the card was torn along a perforated edge from the cereal box, as opposed to being cut down to the black borders of the card. If this card was cut to the lines which are still perfectly in-tact it would probably be a mint card - is that considered trimming, and if so is it ethical in this scenario, and where would I have it done if it was acceptable? Would it be better to simply leave it alone as-is?

Thank you

(I have a Maris with the same numbering issue also, but it is cut properly)
