Something else to keep in mind. If you send cards away to be graded, the short ones might shoot you in the foot, even if they actually came out of the factory that way. In one of the fairly recent group subs, I sent out nine 1971s. These are cards that I've had since the late 80's, early 90's, and never had even an inkling that they were doctored in the past. One third (3) of them came back ungraded with this assessment - "N6: MINIMUM SIZE REQUIREMENT." It is very possible that they were nothing more than simply 'factory short.' Bummer.
