Jay, that Doolan looks obviously trimmed along the left side. With that said, it presents beautifully and is a card that I would consider for my collection.
I am more interested in the esthetic appearance of a card in an SGC holder than I am in its numerical grade. Having an EM or NM appearing card that is slightly trimmed at the top sitting in an SGC AUT holder suits me just fine. I would rather have it than a SGC 20 or 30 that is creased, dirty, has paper loss or is otherwise unattractive. And, I'd be willing to pay the same, if not more, for the more attractive looking card.
In fact this was the only way I would have been able to acquire my Drum backed T206. Slight trim at the top, lovely card othereise, and at 1/4 the cost.
