The one type of alteration I most dislike is trimming, so I'd have problem with owning a trimmed card.

Default AWESOME topic of discussion

My response is mostly aligned with some of what others have chimed in with already:

1) That I am aware of I do not own any cards that were factory cut and then trimmed.
2) I would be open to purchasing a trimmed card - The factors for me would be 1 - How long would I have to wait given availability and 2) expense for a non trimmed version - the longer expected wait (think years, not months) or more out of my realm of affordability, the greater the likelihood that I would go for a trimmed copy.
3) Alteration needs to be disclosed

The idea that a card is trimmed doesn't sit well with me and as a general rule I steer clear, but as above, given the right set of variables I could pull the trigger. The resale is another factor for me. I am more likely NOT to spend big $$ for a trimmed card - market too finicky about them and would be concerned about resale.

I like the miscut graded cards in near mint to mint condition. Borders don't mean that much to me is the image of the player.

Would you be able to detect a trimmed T206 card that was, as trimmed, properly sized? esquiresports Net54baseball Vintage (WWII & Older) Baseball Cards & New Member Introductions 17 04-12-2013 10:52 AM
