Just think:

If the ORIGINAL collectors of baseball cards back in the 1880's (Old Judge) and the 1910's (T206) had found it FASHIONABLE to TRIM every card in order to make them fit in holders...

then TRIMMING would be ACCEPTABLE!!!

And if it was...

then we wouldn't have to pay THOUSANDS of dollars to buy "certified untrimmed" cards...

when we could just buy one with bad corners and TRIM IT OURSELVES without "ruining" the card!!!



How nice would that be?

Should't the hobby REALLY be about how cool the cards look... and NOT whether they are a millimeter short??

Coulda, shoulda, woulda.
