Default Some specific grading questions

That is the link to my E102 Ty Cobb card. I rated it as VG based on the descriptions in the 2006 Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards. I may be way off....I'm new to this.
My question is regarding the top and bottom lines of the image. The sides of the image are square to the sides of the card, but the top and bottom edges of the image are skewed somewhat. Does this detract alot from the the grading of the card? I've noticed a couple of other E102's with this issue as well.

That is the link to my T206 Addie Joss card. Notice that his name is cut at the bottom and re-appears on the top.
What does this do to the grading of the card?


Thanks for any input!

Oh, and I should have mentioned that the cards themselves are pretty perfectly square, even if the photos don't quite make them out to be.
