Help with Trimming and The real price for trimmed cards

Posted By: John J. Grillo

Even some of the modern cards have issues with sizes...for example the 1971 topps hockey issue consists of cards that vary in size...makes grading these types of cards already more subjective then what it is.

Often we confuse trimming with deceit, doctering, etc. Collectors back in the tobacco card heyday would often trim cards to fit them in an album, a wallet or a frame...no deceit was intended. I have no problems with trimmed cards of this nature...I find no reasons why collectors cannot consider these cards gems and why grading companies cannot authenticate these items.
