Bottom border looks perfect, square & original.

Convince me the top border was not trimmed.

That looks dog-eared as can be, I think it's obvious choice.

As for Seven's 1.5, that looks like natural wear and not a concern. Yes, there are plenty of miscuts in those sets and some seem suspect and some not. If I saw a smoother transition to the corner and less questionable angles, maybe I could write it off. As it sits, nada.

I would never spend that kind of money for something I would think is an A grade, when I just could get a better actual A grade for far, far less.

There's a selection of authentic altered cards in that auction, my question would be is this from the same consigner? Good shot that in submissions, some get through as we all well know and some don't.

And before the lawyers come calling...this is only an opinion, I have not held these cards.
