Lee kinda scared me when he said he measured his t206s to determine whether or not they were trimmed.

Grading companies realize, like all of us should, that while some pre-wwI issues vary very little in size (1915 CJ's for instance), most will be mostly the same size, but with plenty of "outliers". With that in mind, any grading company that just measures and loads, without inspecting the borders for evidence of x-acto knife visits, isn't any better than PRO. This is one of the reasons I have problems with a company cross-grading cards without de-holdering them.
