There was no QC to this effect from Topps' end. I'm sure that all were authentic, but these were purchased and inserted raw and had never been graded (or perhaps some of them had been attempted, but who knows). In any case, we didn't do anything to ensure no trimming or alteration.

In fact, here is a thread from the archives about a trimmed John McGraw.

I picked up a few of them for a reasonable price. I don't put a huge premium for the Topps packaging.

I did like the innovation shown by Topps for doing this. It probably brought a few collectors to the vintage side of the hobby.
