This card received a numerical grade however the top looks trimmed. Apparently some of these were cut at a slant in the factory. Anyone know about this?

You have to look at the bottom of the card as well. If it has the same slant then it may not be a trim.or if the issue you see on a T206 is on the right side, look at the left and see if it has a mirrored issue.

Doesn't look trimmed to me. It's not uncommon for a cut to be noticeably askew like that, either in T206 or in pre-war cards more generally.

Thanks for the feedback. I just picked up this card for what I believed was a good price and was curious as to what other's thought about the slant. Either way I know there is a lot of hype around this card right now but I believe I got it for a good price. Thanks again!

It's called a diamond cut, and it's not unusual with T206s.

It's a diamond cut. Nothing out of the ordinary. Great card!

Thanks for the feedback guys! Much appreciated! In your opinion what would you grade this card? I've seen uglier Cobbs at the same grade.

I would give it a PSA 2. With those corners I don't see it getting anything higher.

Yeah it's an SGC 40. Seen some which are pretty stained myself. Seems to be a demand for these Cobbs right now. Prices are all over the place.
