In the past, we'd see Ecards trimmed at the top somewhat regularly. People would trim them to fit the pages.

Zero qualms with purchasing and having trimmed cards as part of my set...but intentionally trimming to fit the size of pages, that's a bit too extreme in my opinion.

Here is my E93 Tinker that has a trimmed bottom that came from that old Old Judge auction I mentioned earlier. You might consider trimming that Plank in a similar fashion, though I would shave off its top border.

Just saying it was done. Lots of things are done that I don't think are good.

Yeah Steve. As I gave it some more thought, I guess I do understand the idea of trimming cards to fit pages. As a collector, one may not mind diminishing value for the sake of viewing pleasure of their set/collection. I essentially do the same thing every time I crack a graded t206 for my binder...
