Long time reader, but I do not post here much. You happen to hit on a set I have started and really have enjoyed.

I always assumed trimming was common to accomodate for corners being broken off over time. The other theory I had was that people stored them in the old fatima tins and needed to shave them down a bit to fit for storage after they started to curl.

Great set and I would encourage anyone to start it. Don't let the short prints scare you away. The cards are beautiful and scans do not do them justice as they tend to enhance the creases. In hand these are some of the best looking cards that I own.
