I wouldn’t buy either, but if forced to choose, I would go with the trimmed one all day long.

I'm not a CJ expert. If memory serves me correctly, most or all the 1914s I've owned had staining. Does someone that knows CJs have an estimate of what percentage of 1914 CJs have staining?

I voted wrong, so chalk another up for the trimmed column. I saw the trimmed had authentic on flip so I clicked that without seeing both flips said authentic.
I'd much rather have a trimmed/altered nice looking card thats labeled as such, then one really hammered, all other things being equal...

I’d take the trimmed as well of two as well. Superior eye appeal.

Most would rather the better eye appeal, if they wanted one at all. I generally steer clear of AUTs also. This OJ, I think was only miscut and not altered. But what do I know? (not sure why I have it, actually) .

Neither. Ted Z would have claimed CJs are not cards.

Problem
You have one major problem here, why is the 2nd card authentic. It is possible that that was what was requested rather then a 1. It is also possible that when it was graded sgc did not add the reason and the card is also altered. Without knowing that i can not make a choice.
The beat card looks ok size wise and just looks worn so it makes you wonder why its doesnt have a number grade. James G
