I bought a Waddell portrait that knocked my socks off for clarity and color, but the left side had what appeared to be a slant like you are alluding to. Measured just fine, the edges of the card seemed to have even wear and the corners had even wear. I sent it to SGC and it came back an 80. I think there are legitimate T206 "beveled" edges, just like there are legitimate OJ's with wavy edges.
Amazing card, BTW. If I had a result like this, however, my wife would probably make me sell it (yes, I realize I am not the boss of my own home).
