What Do You Guys Think of this Grade?

You then have the Script cards as the smallest and the Fa/Fb cards not far behind. It's not uncommon for a single border to be cut short but this 1889 looks short on more than one side and may not even have a straight cut.

Card looks suspicious, but I'd like to see in person. W.r.t. photo quality, not so nice but we all know that doesn't factor into grade as of yet.

I thought the same thing at first, with respect to the borders....maybe one could be thin....but not all of them

The scan isn't real great, but the card sure seems to be missing the borders.
