MatthewDon't know that I would advocate trimming any cards now, but I have a ton of cards that have had the top & side borders removed long ago. I will admit they don't hold value to a large number of collectors but I have no problem with them since I could not afford some of them in better conditions.
The image on this card is perfectly clean & has almost every bit of gloss that it probably had when new. I suspect that about 94 years ago the owner of this card felt the same way as the original poster & trimmed it then put this one away for posterity. So what should we do with it, destroy it? While I am not going to do anything like this to my cards I have now, anyone with cards like this that thinks they are worthless, send 'em on to me.
Everyone here has different collecting interests so I don't expect everyone will have the same opinion on this either.
