Is this card diamond cut?

I was considering buying this PSA 10 as I'm a '70s bkb nut. The card looks to me like it's diamond cut. Maybe it's an optical illusion because the card is at an angle in the holder, but does it look mis-cut to you?
By the way, I've had great experience dealing with this seller.

    I was so focused on the front, I hadn't even looked at the back.
    Yuck.

    Here is the Link to the auction

    It is definately diamond cut on the back!
    and the front seems to be as well.
    This is definately Not a PSA 10

    and what concerns me the most is the fact
    that the Scans DO NOT SHOW THE EDGES OF
    THE PSA HOLDER!     (although he does this
    in All of his auctions... why?)

    I think that could be a WIGWAG card
    or one like it that has been switched in the holder
    but you will not be sure until you see the
    holder's edges!

    So full of action, my name should be a verb.

    BKAH> Lots of people do this - including me. When I post a scan, it's at 100ppi so by trimming off the edges of the holder, I save a few K in file size. I have yet to have anyone ask me to send them a scan to include the edges, although I'd gladly do so if asked. I really don't think it's as big as deal as you're making it.

    In this case, the image posted is at 135ppi. As posted, those scans are so crooked there's no way to really tell how diamond-cut the card is. I brought the front and back into Photoshop and straightened them as best I could. Not as bad as first appeared, but still more than most of us would like in a PSA10.

    I agree with Mike. I trim off the edges when I make scans too. People get to see more of the card. I have a perfect feedback so people don't need to question whether I'm going to rip them off. The card definately looks diamond cut. Very little though. It's centering at it's worst point appears to still qualify it for a PSA 10.

    I've had scans come out with the card slanted in the holder. I always redo the scan of big stuff like this though. A scan like that could cost you $50 in bids so it's worth the extra 2 mintues to redo the scan. I wish I was a big enough dealer that this card would be considered so little to me as to not rescan it.
