Dan Mathewson...that these are trimmed cards. I sent the seller an e-mail asking him if he guarantees his cards NOT to be trimmed or altered. I did it because I noticed that the has a Blue Bkgd M116 Matty for auction, too. Here:

It seems that a lot of the M116's I've run across have been trimmed (roughly half, actually), and I just recently noticed that the seller of the M116 is the same person as is selling the Matty E98 mentioned in this thread. I'll be interested to get his response. He'll probably come back with the typical seller response "um...I don't trust any of the grading companies to accurately grade my cards...blah blah blah...BS BS BS...and I, um, cannot guarantee that any of my cards will pass muster with those horrible sheisters at grading companies...double-talk double-talk...so, naturally, NO, I will not guarantee that any grading company will be accurate and therefore I cannot guarantee what I sell to you."
I'll have to wait until I'm back in Seattle to post his reply (assuming he even replies) as I am outta state and my eBay mails go to my work e-address.
