What do you think...will this cross over or is it trimmed?

I am not looking for a straight cross...just wondered if you think that this will grade with PSA or do any of your eagle eyes think this is trimmed?

Thanks

    Both bottom edges taper inward, but that's not an uncommon cut for the era. That said, something looks "off" on the right, but I'm not sure what the advantage of trimming would have been when the product is just another well touched corner. If it does cross, probably a 5.

    Just an opinion though, I'm up in the air really.

    Right side looks funky, I sure hope it crosses for you!

    I think the card will EVENTUALLY cross, provided it is cracked out.

    Very nice card! That being said I have heard KSA often crosses over at a grade lower in PSA. Hard to tell if it's trimmed, but as others have said looks a little "off". As bobbyw8469 states eventually it will grade. If it crosses over please post a scan!

    Good luck!

    Not a great scan, but with the naked eye it looks like the right border gets skinnier as you go down, but that there isn't an equivalent variance on the left border.

    Looks a little smaller than the black frame inside the holder, but that may be normal.

    If it grades, I would be hard pressed to see it above a PSA 5.5. I think the corner crease and chunk missing in the upper left is just too much to warrant a PSA 6. Good luck.

    I don't have much of an eye or knowledge about trimming. I agree that PSA will be at least a full grade lower though.

    Those KSA cases make me nervous. You just look at them sideways and they crack themselves out.

    Good luck with the grade.

    everyone is noting that the right side is off, but I think that might be because the holder itself is off. The card looks fairly straight on the right side while the holder tapers away from the card. Looks like a 5.
