Default W516-1 To trim or not to trim.

I just picked up this card and I’m wondering….

If I sent it to SGC, would it be a 1 or an A? If I trimmed the right side along the dotted line (like in the second photo) would it fare better or still be an A?

Default Connie Mack

Like Connie Mack must have said during his 50-year managing career…

“Once an A, always an A”

Not really a card worth grading in my opinion but all old cards are fantastic.
I love cards like that…

It's an A. Doesn't matter if you trim it or not, it'll still be an A.

I think it's gonna be an A no matter what. I'd leave as is.

Thanks, everyone. I was pretty sure it would be an A myself no matter what and would probably not send it in for grading at the current cost, but I always appreciate a second set of eyes.

Late to the party but I would just leave it alone. Put it in a penny sleeve and a top loader and you are set.
IMO there are some cards that just don't need to be graded.
