What grade do you think this card will get?

[D. Bergin]

If it's a scan on a flatbed, it's likely trimmed. If it's a digital shot or a scan with the flatbed open, there's a good chance it's perfectly fine. Looks bowed to me, more then trimmed.

If it's not trimmed, I'll say a (4).

I just got notice that the card has shipped for authentication. Given the feedback, I am wondering if it is even worth it to send it back in to PSA for grading as that will add to the $260 I already spent on what may be trimmed. And if so, more cost on top of the disappointment.

Edited to add: If the authenticator sees that it is trimmed, I can't see how that would match the listing of NM.

Trimmed. No doubter.

Even if it's not trimmed, the odds are low that the authenticator will agree that it's NM. So it's probably getting bounced either way.

The only question is whether the authenticator will give you the option to proceed anyway.

What evidence of trimming is everyone else seeing?

From what I'm seeing just based of the scan its the left edge specifically towards the top left third of card that looks sus.
