Yes, they do. There's a slight tilt left to right. That's my best guess as to why it graded as 'Authentic'. But when you look at the edges themselves under mangification and examine the texture, color, level of fray, and chipping, they all look the same and are indistinguishable from my other 1952 Topps cards. If it was trimmed, my first guess would be the bottom edge, followed by the top edge. The problem is that the presence of a tilt alone does not necessarily mean that it has been trimmed. There is no shortage of these 1952 Topps cards out there with tilted or even flared edges straight from the pack.
