Is this just me

Hey guys, I'm not trying to start a seller or TPG trash thread, but need to know if my eyes are failing me. Take a look at this listing. Look at the right border on this card in particular from Kaline's ear to the shoulder area. If that is not trimmed, I need to get an eye exam.

Hard to tell from the front scan, but the back scan makes it look like the left hand side is wavy cut to me. My eyes are not what they were in 61 though.

LOL, I think I'm in the running for the most boring post of the week, month...

I am simply not good enough at detecting altertions on cards. I put too much faith in the holder but working on improving. I read all these threads trying to see the things more experienced buyers/collectors are looking for.

I don't think it's trimmed. I think the entire right border has a wavy cut, but I'm pretty sure it came that way from the factory, not from scissors. I've seen hundreds of cards like that with a wavy factory cut.

Wow that's crazy David, whenever I see a wavy cut like that I think trimmed or hand-cut. I've seen 100's with rough cut, but not many wavy. Anyway guys, thanks for making me feel better by responding!
