Good point Steve. That's the one thing I think it could have been. I just can't see that it was trimmed. Though it may be a faulty argument, if I were to play devil's advocate to that thought, as I have done so already, I've thought that - if a card is this fresh or if it was simply a factory problem, than the washed out look could be attributed to the factory as versus recent human hands. I know there are plenty of cards that have weird coloring errors. So, if this was just a card that was printed at a slightly different size than other cards - then perhaps the coloring was different as well. I dunno.
Regardless, I've also thought that if the only thing that was done to it was a bleach job - I still have a heck of a card here if the corners/edges are this intact after 100 years.
I think ya'll are right though - crack and resubmit time. Might be the type of card I could crack and resubmit a few times.
