I've seen (too) many W516s and that Cobb _card_ looks OK, well within the tolerances and variety you can expect for W516 print quality. The maker of W516s (Universal Toy & Novelty Co.) printed many runs of its baseball strips and moved toward cheaper/less ink as time went on.
I think something more exact than hand scissors cut its edges at some point, which should still be fine for a grader to put in an AUTH holder. Trust others on validity of the autograph, as my experience is with those cards. :-)
