I don't think I could handle conversion from metric to inches on a monday.

My money would say trimmed...the top edge likely...maybe all 4...but the moustache def does not look trimmed!

It measures correctly then, and you're thinking it was oversized originally? Top left corner looks a bit feathery, tough call on this one. Sorry to make you show the titus but the front view I find is easier to tell from.

This one has a similar cut as well, I've seen others too.

Default Titus

interuptus....

speaking of things in terms of millimeters makes me feel better :-)

Back to the question it looks like it *might* be trimmed to me when putting the chipping distress in the lower corners in context with regard to the bottom edge. I would take a loupe and a STRONG light and compare all of the edges to each other when looking from the side. I think it's all about how YOU feel about the card. If it doesn't keep you up at night I suggest it's all good. Without the proper tools and experience - sloppy trimming easy to spot - expert trimming not so much.

Apparently a couple of examples have been posted with similar centering since I went to post. I did not use the centering in my evaluation. I've only owned a few hundred T206's which I understand is nothing in the scheme of things. With ANY card - unless I can't or won't find another - it's a pass when I feel too great a % of discomfort. Maybe this is a case where a TPG would provide real (or imagined) personal peace.

Possibly oversized and trimmed to size? The cut doesn't bother me as much as the sharp corners

This is one of those rare times that I feel tpg's(SGC or PSA) are of value. Submit and see if it comes back with evidence of trimming. Good looking card eitherway.

That is what I will do.

I picked it up at a card show this weekend. I'm not really a T206 collector, so I will be selling it.

I hope it comes back with a number. You should do well if it does because it's a hot card and a tough one to find in the condition that yours is in. You could also leave as is and provide measurements and better scans and put it on the bay with a high bin and see what happens.
