I am pretty sure this card is trimmed but I need opinions

I bought this recently and received today.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8720490330&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1

I did notice the left edge was completely chipped from corner to corner in the scan before I got the card. When I measured it today it is almost 1/32nd short. Two left corners noticeably sharper than right ones and look funky. I am pretty sure it's trimmed would just like some back-up as the seller lists a bunch of legal sounding mumbo jumbo in the card's decription. Thoughts please?

It might be the scan, but that left edge looks like a mess. Is the whole thing white, all the way down, or is that the scan?

If you're sure it's trimmed then you should email the seller and let him know what you think. If the seller doesn't want to refund your money ($375) then ask him if he'd accept a grading companies decision.

The item description included the following:

This card has beautiful eye appeal, a nice piece of American history and a treasure to add to ones collection. ..This card is worth getting graded by PSA

The item description also included the following:

Al,

White all the way down.

Judge,

I will let you know what the seller says. I suspect he will be prepared to offer a refund. Some of his auctions reference the "worthy of PSA grading" and some do not. If he refuses a refund, I will have him reference this thread and your opinions. Thanks for the help. Anyone think this card is not altered?

I looked at the back after reading your post and it just jumped at me. Trimmed for sure. In your title, all the "fake" did you mean you think the card is not authentic? I am sure it is real, but not that you pointed out the back edge I am sure it is trimmed as well. Thanks for the help again everyone. This is a great place.

What brilliant legal mind came up with bit of garbage? Common sense tells me that this would enver stand up in court, but thena gain, common sense seldom seems to prevail there, or anywhere else for that matter. I've this verbage used my a lot of sellers and I pretty much will not bid on an auction that uses it since it essentially says I can tell you one thing and send box of cow dung instead and you are stuck with the box of dung.

I get it. Big Seinfeld fan here. I appreciate the humor. Just not used to applying Seineld allusions on this site. Will keep in mind. Card is not fat free after lab testing. Damian is not happy!

Damian- It's a nice looking card regardless. If we won't refund your money, send it to SGC or GAI and ask them to grade it authentic.
