About the only thing you can truly compare between the two cards is the potential differences in the areas of wear on the front of the card. As for the corner, the first scan is of the card sitting on a piece of paper or cardboard...obviously the one in the auction is in a holder which could easily make the corner look sharper than it would be outside the holder.

To the benefit of the doubt, the first scan isn't very good and I wouldn't draw any conclusions about a card with the quality of that scan.

I would agree with Cobb33 that I thought the statement about you buy from me whether you know it or not to be an interesting way to build up customer's confidence.

I also find it somewhat interesting that te auction house hasn't been taken to task for having the card in the auction in the first place. If they know believe the card to be trimmed and mis-graded it would indicate that they do not inspect the goods that they are selling or do not do so very diligently.
