T206 psa 8 trimmed or not?

[scottglevy]

Back in the good 'ole days if you took a large stack of original T206s I'd guess that close to 10% of them would be either longer or shorter than standard.

Legitimate variations on the sides of cards are much, much more rare than top to bottom. If you can see the natural 'roll' of the machine cut, you've got nothing to worry about.

Kev, i have a T206 that is 1/8" taller than my others that are slabbed. The apprentice must have had astigmatism.

Which also implies that it is possibly likely that a full-sized T206 could have been oversized and trimmed down to "regular" size.

Yes, definitely. I used to own a full sized Cobb Green that was undoubtedly trimmed. Looked NM too - what a pity.

I used to measure my raw T206's by millimeters, and found the standard size was roughly 66 1/2 to 67 mm. If it measured 66 or less, I was always skeptical. That of course didn't mean it was bad. But it's tough to find a natural one less than 66.

I have owned T206's over the years that exhibited significant size variations...usually vertically...that didn't appear trimmed to me. Although A PSA 8...to me...has a high likelihood of having been trimmed.
