Wow Brian I was just going to pm you to see if you saw this card or won it. It is a tad short top to bottom as far as specs go, but there is so much variance in these that you can't go just by that. Looked trimmed on the bottom to me so I passed. If someone here won it and submits it for grading, I'd love to hear their opinion.

The "Alfalfa" effect on the top border is also a concern.

Eric,
Not meaning to insult or embarrass you, but here is the back scan: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/OTQwWDU0OA==/z/6HEAAOSwq7JT5CJP/$_57.JPG Top right border and upper right border. Last edited by Brian Van Horn; 08-15-2014 at 12:38 PM.

Personally I think it's a real close call, and I'd love to have the card in hand. Here's the card under discussion:

The fraying you find along the top and less so along the side is not a giveaway or tell-tale sign, IMO. It is commonly found on m101-4 type cards, although usually along the side edges rather than the ends. Here are a few:
   I will back up and say that such fraying is not only less common on the top and bottom, it is not found on any of my GLobe-backed cards, so maybe you're on to something.
