mrc32I have been picking up nice graded and ungraded examples for a few weeks. I wonder what people out there think about trimming of the T-series of cards. How prevalent is it?
Also- What are the exact measurements of a T-205? I have heard that the machines that cut the cards were not as precise as the machines that cut cards from the 50s. In other words the size can vary a little.
I recently purchased a T-206 buyback that contained a T-205 card in nice shape. I bought it in hopes to break it out and send it in for grading. I read the previous thread on buybacks and I'm a little concerned that mine might be trimmed as well-- that’s why I want the size measurements.
Does anyone know how companies like PSA or SGC come up with the evidence of trimming. Is there a method other than using a ruler and measuring it?
