Measuring the card only tells you the size. It will not tell you if the card is trimmed. Plenty of full sized cards that are trimmed and many small cards that are not.
If the card had been in a Auth Trimmed or Auth Altered SGC holder and then PSA graded it a 6.5, we would have something to discuss. There is nothing here to disclose or to discuss.
SGC saw the card as being 100% authentic and not altered but too small to give a numeric grade. PSA saw the size of the card to be acceptable and assigned a grade. If the card is smaller than 1/32 of an inch PSA should not have assigned a grade to it.
The description writer should be fired for suggesting the card was trimmed, thereby hurting the sale price for the consignor. The buyer hit is out the park.
Based on the scan I think both companies got it wrong because the scan gives the appearance of a trimmed card but I cannot see the edges.
