His location on the printing sheet suggests that he could always be wider (being on the end of a row), but that any miscut vertically could always make a short 3.5" height (being in the middle of the sheet vertically he could be cut short at top and bottom). Thanks!

Below my Mantle's that just arrived back from Uncle Psa.

Awww. I'm so sorry. After I take a photo of my card in a one touch, it goes in a top loader & penny sleeve, then gets sealed in a "perfect fit sleeve" with clear postal tape on the back. So sorry.

I do remember the card being slightly "diamond cut" after cracking it out of the PSA case. You can see it a bit in my one touch photo. The long cut is slanted a little to the left.
