Haven't checked through for these variations yet, so i may have more.

Thank you!

I just won this one the other night. Took a chance on the GAI grading, especially since it didn't read 1st graded, but I trusted the sellers comments, and it looked good to me.

Thank you.

Still debating whether to crack it when I receive it or leave it alone?

I'll likely have a month before I get it to decide but that scratch on the case bothers me, plus I'd like to measure it accurately by laying it on top/beside another 52.

It's got a slight diamond cut to it.
I think that's a good sign in re to possible trimming.

From side to side, the angles seem to match and this cards borders still have a lot of meat to them. I’d guess it’s not trimmed.

My other variation is very similar as it is also diamond cut.

To me, this new card doesn't look like it has been trimmed, but with the tiniest amount the card doctor's seem to be able to remove, I'll never know until it is in hand freed from its case.

I agree, but I guess I am bias at this point.
