There can be a small variance in size to these older cards. Printing and cutting techniques were not quite what they are now. I have a few Goudeys where there is a minor difference to width or height, and I know from an examination of the card grain/edges under a loupe that no trimming has occurred.
Have a look at this, detecting alterations in Goudey cards. Apparently, somebody at SGC could use a refresher course on this very thing. The borders are way too small, and I'm shocked that it was slabbed with this grade. Too bad, as that's my second favorite pre-war card behind the T206 Johnson port. But I would never put it in my collection, even if I could afford it.
