Help with this PSA graded card. Does it look short or trimmed??

Im questioning this card that I have graded. The top left corner has "a bunny ear" And it is very short. Is it just undersized? The top edge is also a little bit smother than the other 3. Should I send it in to PSA or am I just being paranoid?
Thanks guys
Here is a pic along with 2 commons next to it.

    I'm not too sure, but that one is the middle looks very fishy to me...

    Yeah thats the one Im questioning. The other two cards were pulled out of a pack 4 weeks ago.

    In that case, yes, I definetly smell fish here!

    I wouldn't bother with that middle card...

    Using J-Ruler all three measure the SAME size.

    When i place it up the the card in the case they dont match up

    I know its undersized and it looks like the top edge is different than the other three. And the top right corner has a little extra card, like a bunny ear

    It looks fairly ok, to me.

    Try cutting the scan of each card and overlaying them - these are not on the same eye level, which skews the look. As seller of the Simms, I call "legit"!

    It looks like it's already in a PSA holder.
    It would therefore be legit - am I missing something?
  • handymanhandyman Posts: 5,455 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I did overlap them and there is a large gap tb on the simms
  • handymanhandyman Posts: 5,455 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Simms up close, Look at the gap in the case and also the amount of boarders on each side

    Look at the difference.
    I think they might have made a mistake on mine.

    Show closeups of the back as the gray color and edges shows trimming better than the white edges. Even if the card is slightly smaller in the case does not mean it wasn't cut that way. QC was good in 1980, but not like it is today. I have lots of 70's and 80's that vary in size. Look at the edges to see if there is chipping or evidence of foul play.

    Yeah it does show all those signs. The other three edges have chipping but the top one does not. Also the top left corner has a bunny ear.

    Its a PSA 10 so it's not a cheap card.
  • handymanhandyman Posts: 5,455 ✭✭✭✭✭
    OK , so should I send it in to PSA. If so what route should i take???
  • hammeredhammered Posts: 2,671 ✭✭✭
    I am still unclear as to what you are trying to do here.
    It's a PSA 10 right now?
    And you want to send it back to PSA why? So they can downgrade it for you?
    If they've encapsulated it, they've already said it's not trimmed.

    You can send it back for them to review, but I've never seen anyone send a review seeking a lower grade.

    That's just plain dumb.

    It's a PSA 10 - leave it alone.
  • handymanhandyman Posts: 5,455 ✭✭✭✭✭
    No, The reason is I want the card in a 10. I bought it and did not have it graded myself. If I feel the card might have been trimmed. If I am wrong then it is a clean 10. But I just want to make sure. PSA would then replace the card for me if they made a mistake. If they graded it a 10 and it is trimmed how is it still a ten. And I would not want it in my collection if trimmed.

    By eyeing it, the card looks similar to the one on the right, but the left seems to have more border. I guess I didn't look at it that closely when I owned it. Obviously I hope (should you choose to send it in) its not trimmed - that would be lame. Sounds like they would reimburse your costs, which is very cool. If you need any proof of sale, let me know.

    I agree. It was a perfect sale between me and you. Im just questioning the card graded.
