    I think the guy shot himself in the foot by multiple card scanning since now you can do some 'Relative' measuring. The adjacent Hank Aaron is 11cm + 2mm, the Ryan card is 1mm LESS than 11cm or overall by my measuring 3mm shy. Doing a little basic math, that would put the trim at a little less than 2 mm or 1/16" - not acceptable by PSA. This is just my eyeballing from a screen - bottom line the card is narrower.

    It looks like all of them tail off- up and to the right, or is it just me?

    They don't even look right, they look trimmed without even comparing them to anything else, they look like Kellogs cards. image
