They even posted it in the SGC section, and titled it as graded... gotta love it.

It's called "shaved edge." I wonder if the whole border is missing if they still call it "shaved edge"?

Shaved, with a crewcut. To paraphrase Pete C., you could get seasick looking at that top border.

I've seen a few sellers dropping "vintage" in front of "trimmed", as if that was more acceptable. Luckily, it hasn't caught on like some other ridiculous phrases like "doesn't say reprint on back", "grandpa...", "attic...", "estate sale...", etc.

Even worse are all the "vintage reprints" popping up now on ebay, as if an old reprint makes it worth more than a new one.
It really steams me that kimpossible can continue to defraud people on ebay although at least now we have made her mention that it COULD be a reprint (everyone is, no doubt about that and she knows it). That hokey about "for educational purposes" is twaddle.

This is just a spelling error.

He didn't mean "GRADED"...
