I had a fairly recent similar situation. I got a good deal on a group of four Diamond Stars to upgrade my set. In hand, they were obviously significantly smaller than the cards in my set. There were also irregularities that led me to believe they were trimmed...slightly wavy borders, or at least it looked like that to me. I am aware that there are some irregularities on size with Diamond Stars, but four of four The seller refunded without any issue. A couple months later sent me back scans of the cards in SGC holders...graded 3s an 4s. While there is no denying the value once they were slabbed, I am just as happy I returned them as I am pretty sure they were trimmed, regardless of grader's opinion.
