1910 T220 Mecca Boxing - size questions

For any of you boxing card experts out there - with the set in question (1910 T220 Mecca Boxing), I've found lots of cards (including commons) that have some noticeable size discrepancies. They're almost all right at 2 1/2 inches in width, but I have several that vary in length - including PSA graded examples. Is it common with this set to have some size variations or do I have some trimmed cards on my hands? I always hesitate to assume someone took the time and energy to trim a common card - even when it's over 100 years old.

Thank you in advance for any feedback on the matter.

    Hey RT!
    I'm not looking to sell any at the moment. I'm currently putting together a submission lot, and I'm trying to avoid any EOT's.

    Morning,

    I bought a lot of 120 of those a few years ago and noticed the same thing, about half were longer than others. I subbed a bunch in three different lots, this was when PSA was going through its every other card has EOT, lost lots of money on grading fees. I remember one sub was 60 cards and 25 or so were EOT. Over the course of the next couple of years I slipped a few in many subs and got them all into slabs.

    Prepare for the worst and send the different sizes in together.

    Thank Neil,

    I'm just trying to figure out if this is a factory flaw. But it makes me feel better that you noticed the same discrepancies.
