The card has a "rounded" bottom (you can see it better from the back view), which seems to me to be consistent with old wear and tear... or someone cutting it by hand at the Broad Lead factory??

If someone was going to "trim" a card, I would think they would do so in a straight line to try and deceive people.

Just my opinion.

I have had this argument many times myself with the grading companies, but they just will NOT grade a card like this one that has the "bowed out" edge... even though it was most likely done at the factory in 1909.
