Is this 1973 Topps Mike Schmidt Trimmed?

Can anybody tell if this is trimmed or not? I'm never good at telling the difference! Thanks! Derek

Edited to add I can't figure out how to add both front and back pictures from my phone so hopefully you can tell by just the back (:

Looks like the card has a "tilt" cut. Do the cuts on the side edges all appear consistent with one another, and does the card measure up to the correct size?

Yeah I wasn't sure if it was just tilted or if something fishy was going on. I don't have the card in hand though, only scans. I asked the seller what the dimensions are. What should they be for '73?

2.5" X 3.5" should be the card's size. If you are not sure if this card is trimmed or not, try to either buy the card while in hand/person or if that is not possible ask if you can return the card if it does indeed turn out to be trimmed.

Usually I would be up for getting it in hand and returning if no good, but I'm planning on getting it signed at the National so I don't have a lot of time to mess around! Haha With time ticking, I might need to just pony up and get a nice graded one. Thanks for your input!

If you're getting the card signed, does it really matter if the card is trimmed or not?

I assume that you are going to get the autograph graded or authenticated; don't the TPG's just assign a grade to the auto anyway?

I had one that looked really similar to the back that you showed. It graded out no problem but you never know.
