Personally I don't think it has been trimmed.
I understand your frustration, and you might be right.

But...lots of cards were trimmed decades ago. Many times it had nothing to do with value (as we assume), but other reasons valid to that person. Some were trimmed to make a uniform size for all of the old owners cards. I've seen cards that were trimmed by an old owner to ensure they fit in a box he was using to keep them. Sometimes the trim was done carefully by a collector - not to deceive, but because the person cared about the collection in his own way.

Cheers,
Blair
