I've got a Morgan RC like that. Looks like it was a noobie trim project by a first grader using plastic scissors.

Maybe sheet cut ?

Not sure but there are a lot of mid-60s baseball cards with really bad/ weird cuts (not necessarily trimmed). That said it obviously impacts price and voids possibility of sending in for grading, For example there is a dealer I buy from with a strange '67 Brooks high number with an edge that is sort diagonal but makes no sense someone trimmed it like that

I don't know about 65's but it is very common for 63's that were on an edge of the sheet to have sides like that.

I couldn't find a first series 1965 Topps uncut sheet, but when I went looking for similar 65 Morgan cards I found this one immediately. No doubt it is an edge card and some were distributed that way.

I have encountered many of the mid 60's cards with this problem, primarily '62-'68. I call them 'oversized / miscut'. They usually will turn up in 'outside the hobby'' collections, where the original collectors bought them in wax packs. In fact going back over 40 years, I cannot recall an original collection / accumulation from that era that doesn't have a dozen or so per thousand cards.
The grading companies take the easy way out and call them trimmed, but in most cases these types of cards will technically be larger than standard size. These types of cards do not turn up in sets which were assembled using vending case cards |
