    The top right does look funky. I say that cuz it should match the bottom left?

    Could be just a bad cut. My guess is if it were trimmed, it would be sharoer than the 6 it presents to be.
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    It could very well be a miscut.

    It's so hard to tell with OPC. I think it would come back from PSA as trimmed though. I think it has the common tilt when you look at the top and bottom but its the side to side borders that make me question. If you notice the even border on the left side. Now look at the right and notice how it ever so slightly narrows as it goes down the card. Miscut by OPC? Likely .... Evid of Trimming from PSA? More likely.
    I would still give it a shot though because its a real nice card and worth it!

    Claude, my pics were too big to email. Can you ask the seller to send you a scan front and back that's straight instead of tilted? If he can do that I'll scan mine at the same size and put mine over yours to compare.

    Looks like a stain of some kind next to his head, also the print mark by the word outfield. The worst thing I see is the deep scratch below the letter B in Bob at the bottom. I think that hurts it a lot if you're planning to grade it.

    I copied the image and straightened it to get a good measurement with jruler.

    There's only a pixel or two difference in width or height on any side.

    The uneven tilt catches my eye as others have mentioned. It seems more than any miscut would create. The left border is close to dead on when measured.

    To me the tilt on the bottom is slightly more pronounced than the tilt on the top.
