It is possible it was innocently trimmed in the 50s and then after being played with the trimming became less noticeable. The card does appear slightly small and the bottom edge appears uneven to my eye. I have seen higher grade 51s with crooked cuts and always assumed trimmed. Could be the photo though on this one.
If it is trimmed it was 100% not trimmed recently.
