Dr.Koos....it FILLS the holder. It has FACTORY edges (serrations). It's been SIZED next to at least 10 1952T high numbers in a range of grades, and at least 1 other 1952T Mantle...AND IS AMONG THE LARGER EXAMPLES of any batch I hold it up to. The card is NOT trimmed. It is NOT stretched and trimmed as the lines of the portraiture are the SAME SIZE IDENTICAL TO ANOTHER COMPARISON CONTROL MANTLE from a different source. It sizes EXACTLY what all the guides SAY it should PLUS a 64th inch or so on the left to right aspect (due to the fuzz coming off the serrations)AND across ANY region of the card and I am realizing those dimensions by measuring to the INSIDE of the black lines on the ruler to leave nothing to chance! If placed randomly in a small pile of 52Topps high numbers, it would be one of the LARGER examples present. If something is done to that card, TRIMMING most certainly plays no part in it.
