Ken McMillanThis will sound like a really stupid post, but what are the actual dimensions 0f T207 cards. My understanding is that the cards are supposed to be 1 1/2 inches by 2 5/8 inches, but can there be some varience from these dimesions from factory cuts? I have 6 cards and 2 card sizes and suspect that there may have been some trimming of 3 of the cards. The odd thing is that the cards that I suspect may be trimmed are exactly the same size and were purchased from 3 separate people at different times. I would think that if there were trimming by different people, then the cards that were trimmed would be different sizes. Also 2 of the suspected cards have been in my posession for at least 15 years. How often were cards trimmed 15 years ago? One of the reasons I ask this question is that I was thinking of having the collection graded for display purposes. Even if the cards that I suspect were trimmed got an authentic grade, it wouldn't bother me. I was thinking of sending them into SCG as I like the appearance of their holders. My understanding of SCG is that they won't grade cards if there is any evidence of trimming. Is this true. I hate to waste the money sending the cards in if they won't be slabbed. Thoughts and opinions would be appreciated.
