I am being more careful on not buying cards with small borders. We all need to do our part to protect ourselves since it seems the TPGs can't detect a lot of nefarious alterations. Maybe someday, but not now, from what I have seen.

The author argues for less tolerance in the size requirement for cards. Obviously a similar exercise with tobacco cards would yield different results.

Nonetheless, what other tools do we have for detecting trimming? Could anyone here do better than the TPG’s do? If so, what’s your advice?
