These are bad, even for me

I won a nicely priced lot of 1950s Topps cards off of eBay this week. That's very hard to do, so as you can imagine there must have been a catch. And that there was - the cards were trimmed. As condition-insensitive as I am, I am more bothered by trimming than things like writing and creasing, as it means part of the card is missing. Plus it's weird when flipping through my cards to have some cards being noticeably smaller. In general though, as long it's no more than the border I'm generally OK with trimming. This lot really pushes it though.

These are the most intact cards in the lot. Most of these I had already, but a few were new to me. Most notably several 1952s! And some of the 1953s are high numbers. '53 high numbers are very hard to get, and I had very few before this. In fact now I have a dupe of Mike Sandlock. 

These cards are a little more heavily trimmed. The '57s actually look pretty good borderless, reminiscient of '53 Bowman. And more '52s! Highlighted by Ralph Houk from his days as a Yankee catcher.

Here's where things get really ugly. These cards are heavily trimmed! They are all the size of late 80s Topps Mini Leaders card (one on the top left for scale). There are '58s where the player's name has been cut off! I actually needed four '58s and four '59s from this photo, though I am giving some thought to trying to upgrade them, something I virtually never do. The '59 Cuellar rookie might not be worth it, but the others should be cheap purchases or easy TCDB trades. But there's more '53 high numbers here, those will have to do. And you might not be able to tell here, but the rightmost card in the middle and bottom rows are '52s. Name and right edge cut off. Probably not worth the trouble of upgrading, though.

So I added lots of cards I needed, but have lots left over. Unless any readers here are interested in '50s cards that are trimmed, some heavily, I can probably find homes for these at OBC.
