Does it diminish the value of a piece if you trim the paper around the print to "fit" it?

Thanks!

I wouldn't say *always* yes, but for resale to collectors in this realm, yes.

I would say cutting a piece to fit the frame will "ALMOST CERTAINLY" diminish the resale value. makes ya think, eh?

Framing's done w/ no damage to the print. Thanks guys. Wasn't as hard as I thought it'd be.
