1936 Joltin' Joe

[Yoda]

I agree that the card graded 7 has been trimmed but can't help wondering if they might be 2 different cards. I say this because to my eye the centering appears slightly different; the graded 5 seems to have 50/50 centering while the 7 is more 70/30. Not trying to be the Devil's Advocate, just the way the cards appear to my eye.

If you look at all the photos posted on the first page, then you will see that they are not two different cards. Somebody trimmed the left and right edges of that SGC 5 and turned it into an SGC 7.

And what's even more f**ked up is that SGC did nothing about it (despite all the evidence that clearly shows both L&R edges being trimmed). It is still up on their database:
