Why would someone cut the borders off of a card?
I seem to see lots of 53 Topps cards with the borders cut off, and sometimes older cards as well. What's the deal, why would someone do that? Not trimmed mind you, not in the regular sense, I mean completely cut off.
Whenever there's something strange about a card, my first thought is that the seller is trying to hide something. There are always a bunch of W517s on eBay with no borders, which is worrying since the 'W517' that identifies the reprints as reprints appears on the border. But why 53 Topps, Goudeys, etc? Or were there just a bunch of kids back in the day who were like "I hate borders" and then attacked their cards with scissors?
