If a card is difficult to find and relatively important to my collection, there is ZERO chance I get rid of it before having a replacement in hand. While Im trying not to get bogged down in the details of the hypothetical, once I go to sell my current example; I do believe disclosure is the best path forward. What/how I disclose is fairly dependent on the details. I assume my statement would be along the lines of "while this card is graded numerically, I have reason to believe it has been altered as such." Just hard to know exactly what to say without knowing the details.

Anyway, I voted to keep but begin looking; but its really a mixture of that and disclose at sale.

Keep till a upgrade if possible

I voted "other" because there is no single answer.

I have trimmed cards in my collection that are rarities in any condition, so I am just happy to have them



I once danced with the devil and bought from PWCC. The PSA 7 card was trimmed and I sent it back and fought for a refund (they were not cooperative). That one wasn't worth keeping even though it was rare. I suppose for me it is all about what I bought. If I bought a PSA 7 and it is trimmed, I got ripped off. I paid a premium for PSA's eye and if they screwed it up, I don't want the card.

Depends on whether or not the trimmed card is noticeable in hand for me. If it clearly looks trimmed or measures small, then I'd keep it for now and start looking for an upgrade. But if the edges all look correct under magnification and it measures within specs, I probably wouldn't care if someone unearthed a photo of it having been oversized in its prior life and I'd just keep the card.

I voted to sell asap with disclosure (unless it's super rare and I need it, then I keep it). No need for a trimmed card..
