Default Midwest Wood Products

I remember buying balsa wood and aircraft plywood in the 90's and it was as marked. I mean if the label said it was 6 X 12 X 1/16 aircraft ply then that's what the measurments were. The same with balsa wood. I recently purchased someMidwest6 X 12 X 1/16 aircraft ply from the local Hobby Lobby for $4.99 asheetand when I went to use it I realized that it was really 5 7/8 X 11 7/8 X 1/16. Did I miss something the 12 yrs I was out of the hobby? Has aircraft ply went the way of the 3lb. can of coffee? Are we getting less for more from Midwest or is it that way with all balsa dealers?
