Had I not known there was an issue with this card, I don't think I would have noticed. I'm pretty good at eye balling trimmed cards online, and in hand. Unfortunately I have run across a few. This Mantle passes my eyeball test.

Since you can't slab your Schmidt do you feel you have lost value? To me considering it's factory in my mind it's no different than a miscut, a rough edge, or anything else that comes out naturally. I detest altered cards, but given this information I can now live with this Mantle...
