I think the following card says it all. Please, t205 collectors - try to hold back your tears! It really is a travesty what someone did to this card:

At one time, it was perhaps an excellent condition card worth 40 to 60% of guide. Now, with its perfect edges and diminutive size, it's more like 10 to 15%. What's the point of doing this to a card?

Still, I suppose to some vintage collectors, a card like this is preferable to one with multiple creases or surface damage. It is kind of sad, however, to see the sheer quantity of attractive, mid-grade Hall of Fame cards that are encountering this type of pedantic butchery.

My problem with trimming cards is that there's nothing wrong with a grade Very Good or Ex card in the first place, and there's no need (other than greed) to 'fix' a lower grade card.

like the seller is a hapless prior buyer who got stuck with this abomination and is trying to unload it on some other sucker.
