And the ironic thing about your statement is that In the early days of collecting it was common for collectors to cut cards up in order for them to fit in various holders or means if storage...And conversely in an example such as the black swamp find how was it out of the realm of possibility some of these cards were trimmed in transit from the original buyer to the grading companies.
Similarly it would not shock me if Mr. meant trimmed some of his Gentlemens Mickey Mantle‘s that he acquired??
