How to tell if cards are trimmed
Posted By: Leslie Westbrook
Since t-206's (and some others) can vary in original size, what are some of the best ways to tell if cards have been trimmed? I'm still new to this, and I don't want to overlook anything. Thanks! |

If a T206 has sharp corners and does not fit a PSA holder tightly, it's reasonable to suspect it's trimmed. |

How to tell if cards are trimmed

you should check past posts for this topic...it has been discussed at great length. it will help to just look at as many cards as you can...even on ebay and compare the corners and sizes. To the trained eye...it's usually obvious. |

In the last two issues of SGC Collector Magazine there have been articles on how to detect trimming in T206 and T205 cards. You can probably order a copy at the SGC website. |

How to tell if cards are trimmed

Here is something I started to write some time ago about identifying a trimmed card. Keep in mind this is a very rough draft. It's a quick hit and covers just the very basics but it may offer some assistance. |

Collect 1960s to early 1980s OPC, as they have naturally fuzzy edges. Collect Colgan Chips and Cabinet Cards (N173, Pinkerton). There's nothing wrong with collecting lower grade cards with rough edges. Cards with stains or similar damage are less likely to be deceptively trimmed, as you can't trim a stained card into Mint. Don't collect high grade cards. If a card is only collectible once it's reached Nrmt-Mt or above grade, it doesn't sound to me like much of a card. A T206 Ty Cobb is collectible even in fair condition. If you collect the issue, 90 percent of trimming is obvious. |
