I'm guessing trimmed. The size and eye test are suspect, of course, but it's the lack of toning diffusion on the reverse (in the scan, anyway) that makes me think trimmed. Very nice job trimming but...why would someone trim it, hurt the centering, and "age" it down to the same grade level?

It sure is a pretty sweet card, regardless. It's certainly well printed, clean and pushing 90 years old! Aren't raw Goudey's sweet!?!?
