Outing an Auction?

What's the etiquette on outing an auction where I think the card may be trimmed? This is a graded card, so I really did just want another opinion.....

There is no rule whatsoever. Etiquette? Most members don't like legit auctions outed because if they are interested in the auction it very well might cost them more to get the item. On the other hand most members appreciate auctions being outed which have issues. So, do what you want to and have fun.....

Thanks Leon - appreciate your jumping in. Another board member is going to take a look. If there's agreement the card may have an issue, I'll post a link early. If not, I'll wait till the auction ends.

I got an expert opinion that the card was fine, so I waited until the auction ended earlier tonight before posting anything. And the auction did really well (about $135 more than the recent PWCC auction for the card in the same grade): http://www.ebay.com/itm/1935-nationa...p2047675.l2557

My concern was with the size of the card relative to the holder (lots of extra room). I feel like I've been seeing more Chicles that look small recently. Often they are placed in a larger holder with a mylar over them. I guess I've been really paranoid after reading the 48 Leaf thread we had a while back about all the trimmed cards winding up in graded holders....
