That 53 Mantle is clearly trimmed. The sum of the top and bottom border aren't nearly enough, top looks like the offender to me looks trimmed. Probably most importantly you can look at some 1955 topps in ISA holders up for sale on ebay now and they clearly have less room in the holder than this 53 Mantle. The Mantle looks to have at least 3/32's of room the ISA Banks 55 topps looks to have 1/16th or less.
