Of course if is not trimmed (it sure looks very, very small though) then you're talking a $150 card. At least given recent sales of PSA 3-4's. All of this is easy to research and verify.
And yes, quoted sales are all for Apple Green Sovereign's.

Yes, I realize it's easy to research and verify - that's why I said I'd pay $30-40 all day long for that card. Maybe that's why you thought there was an implication that you were low-balling, but the implication wasn't intended.
It's still daylight, so my offer still stands, but I would recommend the owner put it on ebay. Because, as you noted, esoteric backs can sometimes slip by ebayers, I would have a $49 opening bid (or BIN) or a higher fixed price. I'll bet you a nickel that someone takes a $49 BIN.
Yes, I agree with you that it looks very small. I don't really get it, but I've seen a lot of short Sovereigns that had nothing wrong with them. There are a lot of cards like that: the Browne Washington variation almost always measures short. It might be a good question for Tim Cathey - ask him if Sovereigns typically measure short. Ted Z would also be a good source for such information.
