Glyn said pretty much exactly what I was going to say. Get yourself a nice loupe, 10x, if you don't already have one. Compare the card in question to another card from the same set that you know has not been altered. Their edge cuts should look the same. If something's been trimmed, it will look quite different, I assure you.
