Raw Nolan Ryan, Johnny Bench, Dan Marino RCs - Are These Trimmed? Possible Grades? I Never Can Tell!

Meatloaf

I may be purchasing these raw cards from a local seller. I don't often buy raw vintage, but the deal appears to be "fair." I know there are experts on these boards for finding trimmed cards. Do these look trimmed? I have no reason to think that they are, but wanted to get everyone's opinion before pulling the trigger here. Assuming not trimmed, what may these grade PSA? The Ryan appears to have from OC issues. Opinions requested....

Cards dont look trimmed to me. But Id put the ryan up to a card that you know is square with 90 degree angles. Maybe a new card. It looks like it might be mis cut like a diamond and PSA wont grade those even though they are 100% authentic. Your image is also angled so its hard to say for sure. But it looks miscut to me. And when I look at the back of the Ryan the orange boarder shoots out way to much compared to the tilt on the left sides tilt of the other boarder. But its hard to tell from the scan. I could be 100% wrong

I would send them all in for grading!

That Ryan is severely diamond cut. It'll never make it into a slab. It wouldn't fit.

I rotated it so the card's graphic is level. You can see the top and bottom edges are extremely slanted.

Wow, thanks for this insight, I did not know this was an issue. Would SGC or BVG still grade? If so, what kind of hit would the grade take for this?
