It has all the indicators of a factory miscut. As well as factory cut.
The edge is curved down on the front surface, and there's the corresponding ridge on the back. All the edges are toned equally, although it's in nice shape so theyaren't toned much. And under high magnification the angled marks from the cutter blade are there.
The odd cut is from some piece of debris geting under the cards on the cutter. In this case probably a part of the sacrificial strip the blade goes into. With cardstock there's usually a crease from the step towards one side, but usually only on one end, and in this case it's there on both ends.
So I'm 99.9% sure it's factory. Or if not one of the oddest trim jobs ever.
And I totally understand why no grading company would slab it unless they just didn't have it together that day. (It's also got paperloss on the front that may be factory, and a bit of paperloss on the back directly relaed to one of the crease, so the best it would manage should be a 30. )
