MarkI just bought a couple PSA5 Diamond Star commons and was enjoying staring at them when my wife looked over my shoulder and asked why one was 'smaller' than the other. Sure enough one is almost 1/16" narrower in width than the other and is probably trimmed.
Has anyone found much variation is size in this set? All my raw cards are the same size. Are trimmed cards in PSA holders found often? Looking at raw cards on eBay it seems like many with toning and an aged look have remarkably sharp edges and corners. Am I now a hopeless paranoid or is trimming this set common?
Since this set isn't as popular as Goudey's or T206s it seemed like one I might try to complete without worrying to much about swindles.
