I have spoken at length with Mark Macrae about D/E/T cards that were cut short; which he indicates did happen at the factory. As collector's we agree that some T cards are acceptable as cut short, but what about E's or D's.

Also, Mark indicated that cards cut short - at the factory (time of printing) should have consistent patination throughout; especially on the reverse.

What are your opinions?

I am contemplating two purchases, from reputable dealers - that describe the cards as "cut short", but wonder if they could have been trimmed - even twenty or thirty years ago.

Opinions...please?

Thanks in Advance,

Mark
