Hi all,
I have handled hundreds of T206's like this one that appear to have been miscut at the factory. Some of the top and bottom of the sheet cards are found extremely oversized, while cards from the middle are sometimes found slightly undersized. SGC and Beckett holders both accomadate much larger cards than there "normal" size, so some play at the top is Ok. I don't think this card is trimmed, but shows a typical diamond miscut that plagues this series. Quality control in 1909 wasn't that great, so cards of all shapes and sizes exist.
Are there a lot of trimmed cards in graded holders? Yes, but this type of miscut is fairley common. Be well Brian
