Think this card is trimmed?

I don't know squat about trimmed cards, but why would anyone trim this card to its current condition? You'd think that if someone trimmed a card it would look like a PSA 8 (a la Gretzky Wagner).

Check out Jeffs trimmed cards for sale. He's done pretty well selling them so hopefully he won't mind me using it as an example.

Some HOF players but others:

Griffith -
Downey -
Mullen -
Camnitz - $SOLD
Reulbach - $SOLD
Mordecai Brown Cubs jersey- $SOLD
Tinker bat on - $TRADED

So the point is why trim a Downey, Mullen, Camnitz, or Reulbach ???

Do you have it in hand? If you do here's what to look for.

From the front - All the edges should be slightly rounded towards the back.
On the back - All the edges should have a slight ridge sticking up.

If it's like that with no inconsistencies then it's probably not trimmed.

If any of the edges are sharp and crisp, like a late 80's early 90's card then it's probably trimmed.

Bottom edge looks ever so slightly uneven (very hard to see). The corners look a little funky almost as if it was very slightly trimmed. Check the bottom border for straightness. Maybe it is just my eyes and my age!

I'll be the dissenter then. It looks good to me.
