Here is the original text from REA:
"The card has been encapsulated by PSA but not graded, due to the slight sloping wave to the cut of the card. PSA interprets this as a possible trim; however, we have no question that this example is not trimmed. Early cards (most notably Old Judges, for example) occasionally have unusual, imperfect sloping cuts that are unrelated to trimming, and this is such a case. This card originates from an estate sale in the Baltimore area in the 1980s which included a large collection of T210 Old Mill cards. The card has been consigned directly from the original buyer at this sale, who purchased the entire 300-card collection. There was only one Jackson card in the collection. All fifteen T210 "Series 8" cards from this collection share the characteristic of having the same very subtle inferior cut, confirming that these rare "Series 8" card examples were cut differently, whether very carefully by hand from sheets, or simply by an inferior cutting process. The cut on this card is original to 1910, and the card was issued exactly in this manner."
