Restored T206 Wagner?

Probably not trimmed. Size is almost meaningless for T206s. They vary is size so much you can't go by that.

That edge doesn't look any different than the others. And the wear, which looks natural starts well down from the top left.

This is an interesting discussion.

The spot at the top changed. The spot on the left changed.

I see where one could speculate that the left border appears trimmed (hell if it was good enough for the Gretzky McNall Wagner......)

My question is if the Slabbed card has the Nagy provenance - what was the chain of ownership from Nagy to the slab?

Agreed, you can't go strictly by the size. But if you have before and after photos, then you could measure the relative sizes of the borders.

Enlarge both photos so the player image is the same size, then compare the borders.

Looks like the same card but I’m not sure I would be turned off by the restoration if noted. I think it’s a beauty.

"If" it's the same card, I would not consider trimming a part of restoration.

Agree. Trimming might have been innocent back in the day but today it's a red flag (and rightfully so).
