Of course, but isn't more likely that the "slightly trimmed EXMTish looking card" was the one that was trimmed nephariously?

I'm not talking about a micro-trim but rather a card that has been on a obvious diet.

Maybe somethng a little more obvious like this one. But your example is interesting. It is @ $700 already + Buyer's Premium, the VCP avg. for a PSA1 of the same card is $718.

Hey Jeff-Isn't that Bender card a hand cut card?

In the case of hand cut cards,that would also be an exception for me to buy a card with an "A" on it........

Many collectors feel good about having trimmed cards in their possession, especially those T206s graded PSA 7, 8 and 9

It's hand cut alright but it shouldn't be.
