From what I’ve seen, I don’t think it was a concern. After viewing a few exhibits from his collection, I realized that it wasn’t about the perfect card.
Collections back then were glued, tacked, taped, cut or altered to fit into a scrap book or in whatever they saw fit to save or display their cards. Cards were banded together, tossed in drawers and wrapped in paper. Growing up I don’t recall anyone really concerned with condition or trimming. They were just cool things to have for trade or games. I’m sure there are many on this forum who have a bike spoke story, or even remember drawing mustaches, and eyeglasses on their cards that today would be worth $$$.
