The card doesn't look wide enough to me either, and then, when I look at the corners while thinking the sides have been trimmed it makes me think the top and bottom got a shave, too. It must have been a big card at one time.
What I trouble understanding is that because it is in a slab it is worth so much more... Surely anyone with enough money to buy that card is sufficiently intelligent to look at the card, not the holder, and bid less than would be reasonable if the card was untrimmed. I can see that the slab would help a bit. But how can the slab completely override the card's evident trimming? Might as well paint the middle section of the slab, front and back. Because after all, it doesn't matter what is inside the slab, the label is all that matters.
