Very true, cards out of vending boxes from the mid 60s- mid 70s are indeed slightly short l/r...I have seen a fair number over the years. Several times in large lots with cards from the 60s/early 70s I have purchased, I ended up receiving 75-100 copies of the same card and all of them are short l/r....obviously no one invested a bunch of time to trim down a bunch of $1 common cards, they were factory cut this way.
I have always been curious as to how the cutting process differed from cutting cards for packs versus cutting cards for vending?
