Is this okay, trimmed, or diamond cut?

In any case, how does it grade a 5?

That's an early label, probably graded 25 years ago +/-. Was grading that loose back then? A time before "hand cut" qualifiers? Clearly there's more wiggle room in that holder than a politicians promises.

Definitely over graded, but not altered IMO

May have been requested to be graded without qualifiers. Typically knock two grade levels off.

I have an eagle eye for this type of thing.

Card is fine. not diamond cut or trimmed. it is tilted inside of the holder, and the photo is shot at angle. the card is drastically off center, but not trimmed, IMO.

Good call my friend.....
 

It is a bit of an illusion but my friend MVSNYC has nailed it! Look at the back and you can get a better feel for how straight the card is inside it's borders.

PS Also....with the staining on the back and the centering, it's not a 5. It is a 3.5 or a 4 all day. Thanks for sharing!

Peace, Mike

I'm never shy about showing off one of my top 3 cards! This is a great example of a 5.
