And Bell Brand experts out there?
 

I'm wondering if this card is miscut or trimmed. I figured it was trimmed, but the seller insists it's simply miscut, and that he's seen miscuts like these still in the wrappers. I cropped it to illustrate the uneven edges ...

Is it a scan or a digital photo?

Card may have been slightly warped when picture was taken causing the top and bottom to appear wider ?? But usually when a digital camera is used its the opposite with the center of the card appearing wider.

Just a thought, dont know the answer.

Good question...


this one is scanned...

I would stay away because of the uncertainty. However, I rarely see a card that is trimmed in the middle like that. Usually you see it near the corners because the trimmer is trying to make those sharp. I've seen countless cards that bubble out in the middle of the side with the the corners trimmed. But I don't know that I've noticed one that was thinner in the middle like this. It probably is warping or the way the photo was taken.
