And regarding the card's status...I'd say untrimmed...just rough!!!!!

Nice card!
+1. I've got one ASA graded card, a 1960 Leaf Duke Snider, in very nice shape. From what I can see of the edges under magnification, mine appears to be non-trimmed also. Hager did make some real contributions to the hobby, including his 1993 hardcover book, which was really well done for the time. Unless you want to sell it, I'd keep it in the ASA holder for the reasons stated above.
