Its not chipping, its a rough edge. Its a product of how O-Pee-Chee produced hockey cards through the 1970s and early 1980s where most of the cards had a varying degree of roughness to the edges.

This is one of those hot button issues and debates in the hockey card community, on if the rough edges should be taken negatively into account when grading the cards or not.

For all the PSA bashers, I just purchased 6 cards from 1962 Topps that were all SGC 92 or 96. All were clearly and blatantly trimmed. About a week earlier, I purchased what I thought was a soon to be PSA 10 card after I cracked it out. Before cracking, I noticed a crease along the bottom front from edge to the name "White" that wasn't fully visible in listing pic but can kind of been seen if you are looking and knowing it's there.

EDIT: Sorry for the oversized pic
