Default Should I be suspicious of listings where photos at an angle to the camera?

Not sure if this is the right place for this question, but I'm looking to spend what for me is proper money to purchase a PSA 9 card from the 1970s. One listing looks particularly interesting, but I can't help but notice that the listing photo is slightly tilted such that the left side of the card is slightly closer to the camera than the right side of the card. I wonder if this is being done to mask a tilt?

Most listing photos are done straight on so that any tilt in the centering is obvious.

Am I being a handwringer, or is it more likely that the camera angle is done to, uh, market the card in a better light? I should note that the seller appears to be someone who sells a high volume of graded cards.
