That Rudolph is a real white border card. I think that particular card has the wet sheet transfer described above, and I don't think it's trimmed. The up side of the photography is that you can see enough to know that it's a real 110 year old card, down side is that ascertaining a skilled slight trim would be difficult.
Price aside, if you're collecting the white border tobacco cards, this Rudolph would definitely be a good addition. If you're wanting all of your cards graded in slabs then maybe be selective as to which cards you purchase, maybe buy graded cards to start with and avoid the 'how will it grade' anxiety.
As for that Rudolph, that is a nice card.
