I can't recall seeing a diamond cut that occurred on the left/right sides; only top/bottom. I'd say trimmed as well.

Trimmed in my opinion but you should have a much clearer view. Don't let your hopes cloud your view.

I sent a 51' Bowman Mays to SGC and it came back as being trimmed. I then sent it to PSA and they gave it a 4. Card matched up size wise to others and even had 4 relatively rounded corners. Not sure what SGC saw.

So here's a scan. to me the scan is worse that the photo, but maybe it's a little better for seeing the corners. Not sure why it looks so bad, but maybe I just have a crappy scanner.

For what it's worth, the only reason I didn't think it was trimmed was because the condition didn't seem to warrant someone trimming it. Also, it measures up on size compared with other T206 that have received number grades. Several other cards I bought from the same dealer about 25 years ago all received number grades. But you all know far more about this than I.

Looks trimmed in the scan

To me it looks like maybe someone tried to "even" the miscut up on the left vertical border. They either thought that it looked good (it doesn't) or they realized that they had screwed the card up even more and they gave up hoping it might pass as a slightly miscut card.

If you are going to sell it, I would not bother sending it to TPG and just put a disclaimer in that it is sold "as is" due to possible trimming. My 2 cents.

peace, mike

Thanks for the advice. I'm certainly disappointed. Oh, well. Sounds like I'm not the first person on the board to have been burned by a trimmed card. When I bought it I thought cards from that era could be cut in ways that weren't quite perfect. Wish you guys were around in 1990 when I bought it...kind of feel like a sucker.
