Default 1949 Bowman hand cut

I have a 1949 Bowman #36 of Pee Wee Reese. It looks to me that it was hand cut, rather than miscut in the factory or trimmed after purchase. I have attached a photograph of it. At its widest point it is wider than a regular card of that year and at its highest point, it is also higher. The hand cut (if that's what it was) is uneven, so it is shorter in some places. It does not seem to have the attributes of the Bowman slate hand cuts of that year.

Anyone have any thoughts?

This is my first post, having joined this forum for the purpose of inquiring about this card.
Thanks

Could be a printer's scrap, or it could just be that an uncut sheet was hacked up by a 6-year-old for an elementary school project.

Default how about the back?

Ive got some partial sheets where the backs were either double printed or misaligned.... probably rescued from a trash bin. How does the back line up? Can you post a photo?

Handcut Bowman and Topps are not that uncommon, presumably someone cut up a sheet around the time of issue for their kid/the kid did it.

All the 40's Bowman issues from non-sport, basketball, football and baseball are easily found hand-cut as the printer rarely if ever destroyed scraps, but rather left them out for the neighborhood children. I have examples of every issue in my scrap collection.

Your example is definitely hand-cut printers scrap or printer's waste, depending on your preferred nomenclature.
