First, it is a fine looking card.
Initially, I thought it just a centering issue, for both front and back. I looked at this last night, and have been thinking about it. This morning, when I just look at the card's bottom edge on the scan of the back, it looks like it is just a hair short, odd, or uneven. The wear on the card (which is perfectly acceptable to me) seems to lead me toward accepting that unevenness. But I think that wear is misleading. So I think yes, trimmed at the bottom ever so slightly, either long ago, or recently by someone who added a bit of wear. That said, that card would be welcome at my house, filling a hole in my small group of 34 Goudeys.
