Any chance PSA would grade it?

    I'm no pro, but it looks really, really questionable to me. The BR and TL corners both look trimmed.

    How do figure that it was trimmed, what are the giveaways for future reference.

    The right side of Spanswick look like it was shaved also. The back corresponds to the front as well.

    Yeah I missed that, you can see the concave there where the picture splits.

    Why would someone trim that, I mean honestly, what is this world coming to?!?

    I see the "shaving" on the right side. But (I'm trying to learn), what, exactly, is it about the corners that leads you to conclude that there is trimming? I would appreciate as much detail as you're willing to share. Thanks.

    Some corners don't look natural. Definitely trimmed.

    I don't mean to keep bringing this up, but what is it about the corners that "don't look natural?" To my inexperienced eye, the corners look fine, nice and sharp. Tell me guys, what is it that you see here?

    Top looks suspicious because both top corners are razor sharp compared to the 2 dull bottom corners. The right side of the card definitely
    is trimmed. It's missing a big hunk half way down and is confirmed by looking at the back.

    Thanks for the input guys... I do not own the card and was considering buying it until I saw the scan. As soon as I took a quick glance at it, I could tell something was wrong with the card. The left edge appears wavy, appearing like the upper half of the edge was shaved off, and it looks very similar to a cut gone bad using a paper cutter. The right edge has a similar problem, except it's been shaved at the opposite end, near the bottom of the egde, same type cut. I honestly do not know whether the card is actually trimmed or if this is the way it was issued, because it is Venezuelan and the quality control on the Venezuelans was less than desirable... but not too many factory cut cards show that much of a wave, so I do believe it is trimmed and I do believe PSA would reject it as such. And a darn shame too, because it is one of the nicest looking 64 Venezuelans that you will ever see.
