Normally some signs of trimming show up under black light. The card measures up full size as well. I’m not seeing any signs of alteration or why it was deemed altered. This thing is beautiful in hand! Maybe one of the alteration experts can chime in here but I sure don’t see it?

Congrats and good luck with the grading. I just don’t think I see enough border around that card for my liking. But I don’t know for sure that the edges have been messed with, by any means.
There are expected variations in the cutting process of old cards but this just seems slightly too small. Take a look at the borders of this one that I will post below (not my card) and yours below it.
And trying to measure the size of a card while in a slab is a little tricky because your measuring device isn’t flush with the card exactly. But it’s tough to say for sure.
