On a logic note, I'm not an expert, but when a card is trimmed using a paper cutter, X-Acto knife or whatever, there is a lot of force exerted downward on the card, so the very edge would sorta curve down a microscopic amount...if you know what I mean. A card coming out of the factory almost 50 years ago would have had plenty of time for that edge to re-elevate and match the rest of the card. So, if the edge sort of minutely curves downward, that is a reason for concern.
The card is a little off-center to the right, so I figured the left edge would be the trimmed edge rather than making it even more off-center. But maybe that's what they want me to think! Here's the other edge, for reference.

I do maybe see a tiny downward curve, but again, I don't have any experience in this sort of thing and it could just be the power of suggestion. And all the edges of the card look pretty much the same.
