HowieYou're out the grading costs and shipping costs no matter what you do.
If you return the whole lot you get your $125 back and are just out the costs above.
If you take his $45 then get to keep 4 trimmed t206 cards for $20 each plus the costs above.
If you don't want anything to do with the trimmed cards then return the lot.
If you don't mind owning the trimmed cards then take the $45.
If you want to try to recover you costs then take the $45 and list the cards on Ebay with a clear description that the cards are slightly short, and you submitted the cards to SGC and they felt the cards were trimmed.
The cards will end up going for close to what they did originally and you'll be ahead on the deal.
