No problem Scott, and I agree completely that cutting down a card to size is a bizarre practice. Back then a T206 common in VG was worth about $4, but that still doesn't justify the act.

It does however explain why a low grade card could show up today slightly clipped. Nobody was trying to deceive, but just wanted to display their cards.

I'm pretty sure that when the top loaders were first introduced into the market, they were considered a big improvement over the others, and were widely popular.
