It is not just BCCG that you have to watch for trimmed cards. BVG & BGS are just as bad for this problem.

You're right. There is a 1973 Munson graded by BVG that is trimmed on the sides for sale on ebay right now.

With bccg, look at the condition grade name, rather than the number. This Bradshaw is a "6 - good" which makes it roughly comparable to a psa/bvg 2 (good) rather than a psa/bgs 6.
