Paying for the card, not the holder?

I would guess it's the bottom border that was deemed trimmed.

The top and bottom looked bad with a quick look at the front. Then I looked at the back..... I think all four sides are trimmed.

I could care less about the grade. I have 1’s that look like 7’s and 5’s with a undetectable surface wrinkle that looks like a 10. I have 1’s with back damage ( I could care less about the back ) that are razor sharp that looks like 9’s so yes buy the card if you like it.

Wide variance in 1s.

The answer is the condition grade is an assessment of everything about the card. As Old Judges with good versus bad image qualities show, grade doesn't cover everything.

Good example... And sometimes it doesn't cover anything (that a collector would care about).
