Hey Folks,

Haven't posted for a while; I've been real busy, but still very much enjoy the board. Quick question for everyone: I am getting sick and tired of buying trimmed raw cards. Is there any other way to make sure they are not trimmed other than just buying graded cards (and one can't be sure with some of those either)? Do I have to bring calipers or a ruler to shows to measure cards before I buy? Does anyone do this, or am I just paranoid?

One more thing: How can the grading companies know a card is cut if the card was from a hand-cut series from the 19th century or early 20th?

Thanks all!
Dave
