I have about 50 of the first series of these Leaf cards in VG-EX to EX shape. The 25 or so I checked all measured up short both l/r and t/b. The variances varied slightly from card to card. Not likely someone would have trimmed cards in the condition of my cards, or would cards in so many others collection also be trimmed. The size of these cards is likely due to whatever cutting procedure was used for this set. The cutting of this set reminds me of the cuts that are typically found with 60-61 Fleer baseball and football cards. The most noticeable difference between the cuts of these Leaf cards and 60-61 Fleer cards is that some of the Fleer cards are found larger(possibly due to handcutting), smaller, as well as the correct size.
