Trimmed or not?

I just got some 1958 cards in that I bought off Ebay and was looking at them trying to decide which ones to send off for grading, this one has what looks like a razor blade cut off the top edge. What is the actual measurement for cards supposed to be, this one measures about 2.503" wide by 3.512" tall.

    Looks ok to me but the stain is a concern. If it was trimmed, someone may have been trying to cut out the stain

    The "cut" looks like "damage," but it does not look
    "trimmed," to me.

    The "cut" might even be a thumbnail; somebody trying to
    scrape the stain off. (?)

    My guess is: Not Trimmed.

    If untrimmed, it would be a PSA 8(ST) I think.

    Beautiful card. Doesn't look trimmed to me--that damage you see to the edge just looks like common chipping at the borders, which is typical of 1950's cards. The stain would not be a reason to keep that out of my collection, that's for sure.

    The stain is a stain but the card looks to measure up - most of the value is in the appearance of the front, which is very nice.
