I agree with this assessment. This is one of the tell-tale signs of trimming, unfortunately. As for the Robinson - I grade it a 5. I grade the 67 Palmer a 7, but if I had it in my hands I would take a closer look at that top edge and make sure the card measures up. Top edge looks slightly suspicious.
