Has Mantle had a shave?

Has this card been trimmed? I can't see a wavy line, but it looks like the right border may be short. Opinions appreciated.

Borders sure do look thin to me!

Measurements should be 3-1/8 x 5-1/4 ... wonder what the seller would say they are?

Based on his feedbacks from others ... I'd go with TRIMMED!

Here is mine, on the left, compared to the one up for auction. I bought mine 30 years ago or so. I had to do alot of resizing on mine to get them even thus the blurring.

With the side by side scan, I think there is no doubt that it has been trimmed. Glad I didn't bid.
