T206 trimmed or not?

Measurements coming tonight...

So the plot thickens....

I did the measurements in mm instead of inches.

Here are the measurements on a raw T206 Piedmont - 66mm top to bottom & 37mm side to side. No matter where I put the ruler they're the exact same. Meaning on the left side or right side.

The card in question which is a Sweet Cap back - 66mm top to bottom on the far LEFT side of the card & 66.5mm on the right hand side. 37mm from side to side no matter where.

So yeah. That's confusing. Also, for you guys that are sure to ask about ridges and rolls on the edges... YES, if you run your fingers over the back of the card you can feel a ridge around the outside.

PS I went ahead and just bought the card figuring worst case scenario I'll just send it back and get a refund. If I lay it on top of or on the bottom of another card they look to be the same size EXCEPT the right hand side is a bit bigger than others.

If the edge quality is right I wouldn't worry about .5mm. The old cutters weren't fast enough and didn't grip tight enough to always make a perfect cut. And as we see with diamond cuts either the operators or the machines weren't always accurate.
