Trimmed Cards

Another thread has me asking this question.

What do you do with trimmed cards?

I have about a dozen or more that came back from SGC trimmed, some I keep for my own collection, other I am not sure what to do with and I have sold some.

If I sell them I also send the tag plus the tap in the scan. Most of these cards are really nice and tough to detect the trimming. By selling them it always leaves open the possibility they will be sold as untrimmed, which is shown in another thread.

It would be great if there was a place where you could recoup what you have into the cards and put them out of circulation. A couple of years ago Sportscards plus put some large lots of T206s that were trimmed up on ebay, I had a hard time telling the trimming and called them and they stated it was tough to tell but definately trimmed. The cards went for decent prices but my guess is that most are either in holders or got sold as unaltered.

So I pose the question what do you do with trimmed cards?
