Trimmed
I used to frown on trimmed cards, but that was so twenty years ago for me. I think collecting Zeenuts has not only loosened me up to really rough looking cards, but has gotten me accustomed to cards that have unoriginal borders (the 1913 through 1937 cards all had coupons on the bottom that were usually cut or ripped off). I have some great looking E93 HOF cards that came from the Don McPherson collection (he is the collector that authored the Zeenut major league player listing, with the aid of Buck Barker) that are absolutely spectacular but were cut off on either top or bottom border to fit into his sheets. I wouldn't have been able to afford them otherwise.
