My second submission, and a "trimming" question...

Here are the results of my second submission... on the July special.
The 4 Yankees commons were given to me... and they are very crisp. I was shocked that the Terry didn't come back at a 9.
And the Rosenberg I picked up very inexpensively. It surprised me, and came back at a 7! Of course, now that I look it, I can see that I underestimated the card.
This 1961 Topps Jim Brown came back as "evidence of trimming."
I matched it up with the best conditioned '61 I had... (RC of former LSU great Johnny Robinson)...
It is a little narrower L/R... but both edges have that rough cut that you see in the '61s. Is it possible that the card is just narrower? Should I resubmit it? This card came from the same collection of vintage that was in my previous post, and the 5 above as well. I trust my dealer, so perhaps the initial collector bought it trimmed? Is there a dead giveaway that I'm missing?
What do you guys think?

Under magnification, they my have seen something that leads them to lean towards evidence of trim.
However, there are also the minimum size requirement cards. I have several that were all pulled from the same vending cases.The same cards in the the same cases, always appear to be min. sized. Although sharp as tacks...they do get flagged 90% of the time when submitted.
So they can lean either way. When the tag it minsizereq..you get free vouchers...when they tag it as evidence of trim....you're out the grading fees.
I just had a sub come back with 2 evidence of trim cards on it. It wouldn't bother me..but these were modern cards..AND I had just pulled them both from boxes in June. Right from the box to the card saver...so undersized..maybe...trimmed...NO WAY...
There's no way the graders can know that...so a hiccup here or there is ok...they still do a great job!
