Just an FYI (and not a statement about your cards at all).....
Many cards were trimmed by grandparents many, many years ago. There was no malicious intent by any means, but cards were trimmed for a myriad of reasons by prior generations, including to eliminate advertisements, make them a slightly smaller size to fit in a photo album or sleeve, cut off a team notation when the player joined a new team, etc.
T206's specifically are known to have come in slightly different sizes, so many of them were trimmed a century ago, to cut down the larger ones so they would be the same size as the others.
Again, not judging your cards at all, but just explaining why a card handed down from an older generation could indeed be trimmed.
