Is this card kosher? Looks trimmed in BGS holder

Jaysace sells a lot of high end BGS stuff. I just click to see once in awhile.
This card bothers me. The front.....left edge....there's a difference in toning if you
look from top to bottom. As you go down, the tone will change from blue to white.
This occurs when a blade was used on the front.....wasn't straight, so the card was flipped
over and the blade went again on the back. Linky Dinky

    Looks like it could possibly be rough cut.

    The 4 edges are perfectly smooth hence the 9.5 sub on edges.
    You can't just have a piece of rough cut on half an edge and perfectly smooth on the other half. It's almost saying like the blade that cut the card at the factory was razor sharp on half the knife, and the other half below was rusted dull.

    I have a PSA 10 of this card, with much cleaner cuts (no white), and it doesn't look noticeably short in the holder like this one. Why on earth is the bidding up to 3 times what I paid for mine? Is Beckett nation THAT brainwashed by the carefully manipulated perrception that 9.5 is something rare and special? A nice card, no doubt, but not as nice as PSA 10's I own and have seen, and quite possibly trimmed.

    They are all saps... the card definitely appears to be short top to bottom as the blue border is a bit out of proportion all the way around... toss in the white edges on the back, and this card is simply a $30 PSA 9 (if it's not trimmed).
