I have found the M116's to occasionally appear trimmed, too. For some weird reason, it is a characteristic of some of the cards in this set. The M116's have some characteristics that I'm not used to, but I think they are neat cards.
They tend to have some surface chipping on the borders (like the gold border T205's do), but it even seems to manifest itself a little differently. I have a PSA 8 Matty M116 (pastel) that has a slight surface chip at one corner (of the ink only) but the corner is still as sharp as a tack and is a great looking card. I have a PSA 5 (blue back) that appears slightly trimmed compared to the pastel back, but in fact it is not. They're both terrific looking cards, though.
I've read quite a bit of info on this board (earlier postings from probably a year ago) from several posters about the M116's and the fact that some of them LOOK trimmed, but they aren't. It might be just some strange run that some of the cards went through in factory cutting.
