T205 Size Variance

[danmckee]

I have about 20 different sizes throughout my T206 and T205 sets. Sets were assembled in the 1970s before people were trimming for greed. They are not trimmed, sizes vary plenty.

You are fairly safe buying the graded cards as they will look at the edges but I can't sit here and tell you that all graded cards are not trimmed.

T205 is a great set! Have fun!

As Dan says, and I will reiterate, T205s can come in many different sizes. It's a great looking set and one I have always put at, or near, the top in aesthetics. And Dan was being nice, I think all of the grading companies miss some trimmed cards. IF you see one that looks trimmed, it could be. The graders are human.

I mentioned to Centauri offline that American Beauty T205s are narrower than other backs. This is the way they were issued. Would anyone mind sharing their perspective and experience on the topic?
Thanks,
