SGC/PSA grading of undersized cards

Yes, to me it still looks trimmed. The top border protrudes in the middle of it and the bottom one does opposite. They are not just diamond cut, as the last sentence could suggest, but wavy to this semi-trained eye.

Hey Leon - I think the scan of the raw card is bad. It does have the protrusion you mention, but if you look at the actual color border below it, it follows the 'wave' on both the top and the bottom.

The original scan borders and the card in the holder borders look different to me. If I had only seen the one in the holder I would have said it looked good. It doesn't look wavy in the holder while it did raw..

Hold a ruler to both, and you'll see what I mean (I just tried it).
