Guess the grade: 1971 Topps Blyleven: RESULTS.. PSA says Min Size

The card is a little short l/r, and seems to be a little wider at one end than at the other. Is this clear trimming, or are there printing issues with 71 Topps that this would fall under?

    Looks like a diamond cut and somebody straightened one edge out. I don't think it gets graded, probably a miscut voucher. Looks like they straightened the top border on the back.

    Seller says he pulled it from a vending box himself, but will give me a refund if I'm not happy, so I'll be ok.

    I just wanted to get the groups oppinion before I ship it back. I've seen some odd cuts that were not uncommon with various issues, but when compared to all the 40 or so "good" 1971 Topps cards I own, this one is slightly different.

    backs for '71s are a mofo for relatively decent centering!

    i think the card has been altered IMHO.

    I wil guess that it comes back recolored, as that happens to many of my submissions. Seriously, I think it has a good shot at an 8 if it has not been altered.

    No way is it miscut.

    There's no evidence of any recoloring. I examined this card under a bright light and a 10x loupe. The card looks awesome from the scan (I'm looking for a PSA 7 or better w/o chewed up corners), but that right edge just bugs me. It's not straight, and the edge (between surface and the "side" of the card) looks different from the other 3 edges.

    If not trimmed, I'd guess PSA 7, too.

    Welp, got it back from PSA.....

    N6: MINIMUM SIZE REQUIREMENT 1971 TOPPS 26 BERT BLYLEVEN


    At least it isn't trimmed and I'll get a grading voucher, but a PSA 7 would have been nice.
