For me, I'd keep as a filler (if I had bought the card with the full realization it had been trimmed). Trimmed innocently by a kid 100 years ago vs. having been trimmed to deceive is a big difference for me.

I went with other. I was extremely sad but it looked so amazing I kept it. Then many years later it was part of a very nice group of graded cards I donated to a local museum.

I never really got into grading at first so knew almost nothing about it. I bought what was by far the best looking 83 Donruss Wade Boggs rookie graded 10 I have ever seen to this day. The darn card looked perfect and I never really thought much about it. Then about 10-15 or so years ago I heard there was trimmed cards in slabs. Sure enough when comparing it to other 83 Boggs Donruss rookies I had it was small.

I went through this exact same situation a couple years ago with a 1900 Cope's Old Tom Morris golf card that was called out on Blowout as a Gary Moser trim job. I gave full disclosure and sold the card at a loss.

Option 5. If you love it, why would you stop loving because it's been trimmed or recolored?

Because it's been trimmed or recolored.

True love has no contingencies.

(At least that's what I'll tell myself as I stare at all my trimmed and recolored cards.)

I think recolored would bother me more than trim
