Default t206 size/trim question...

Hey all,
Just recently started getting into the t206's. I actually never knew anything about them until I joined this site. Now I love them and I think they are spectacular.
I have only 2 cards at this point, but plan to get at least 8 more Hof's in the near future.
I have a Cobb bat on (PSA 3) and a Young bare hand (SGC 40-3).

Im pretty sure I could search for this on the site, but I dont really know what to type in.
I have read that many t206 cards can be as much as a 1/16th of an inch difference in size, so that brings me to my question.
My Cobb is bigger than the Young (lengthwise) and the name on the Young card is much lower to the bottom edge of the card. When putting the cards one on top of the other, they line up good until the bottom where the Cobb is longer. It almost looks like the bottom of the Young is trimmed, but I have no experience detecting trimming on anything but newer cards and it usually comes down to size difference.
I read the article on here about trimming and how to detect it, but the card is in the case so its hard to actually see anything on the bottom edge.
Plus, and I hope I dont open up a can of worms here, but wouldnt SGC mark it as trimmed if it was?
Im just curious if you guys could help me out with this, as I got the card on Ebay and if its trimmed, I will return it and get a refund.
I dont want to start out my t206 collection with the 2nd card I get to be a trim job.

If you need, I can take a pic of the card with my camera phone (sorry its all I have) so you can help me better determine.

Thanks alot guys for helping out a noob.
