Although far from an expert, if the scan is a good representation of the card, it exhibits a cut across the bottom which slants up toward the right. The left border is bowed, with the top being way more narrow than the bottom. And the right edge begins to slant inward just less than halfway up the card, resulting in the card top being way more narrow than the bottom.

I would be surprised if the card came from the factory like this. However, this does not change the fact that the card appears to be in good condition.

I believe that with OJs, angled cuts are not uncommon, but cuts in which the direction of the cut is changed, are not typically caused by a machine. Examples may include bowing such as on your card left, or the inward slant partway up the card, as shown on your right border. For comparison the slanted bottom cut is not necessarilly a negative sign.

Please correct my misunderstandings here, as appropriate, OJ experts.
I certainly have much to learn.
