    The top and bottom look like that could have happened at the factory...

    The sides though, look like a lame attempt at trimming.

    Funny how he describes it as possibly trimmed, yet still says, "If you are looking for a solid Rookie Gifford card here you go!!!" image

    Some one actually trimmed a Gifford Rookie? What an idiot.

    I'm not a football fan, but even I heard of Gifford. Probably a high priced card if not trimmed.

    The card could have been trimmed by some kid back in the days when the gum inside was worth more. ...or maybe by some blind kid with scissors in his hand.

    Looks like a factory miscut to me. Everything appears symetrical bottom right border comes in bottom left goes out.

    That was my first impression too.

    The right side tho bothers me.

    I do have a 1961 Topps card cut almost like that right side.

    He mentions the card "may be trimmed"...so he's an "honest" weasel. LOL

    Has plenty of those "infamous" Xmas rack packs for sale - get 'em before they're all sold out. LOL

    61's and 3's major producers of so called trimi's. Back in the day selling for girlfriends father he had about 500 61's and 3's that looked like that. First I thought he had a whack shop then he told me thats how they rolled. Learned alot in them years with so much product to sift through. Rightside could be trimmed but in that cards case it really doesnt matter.

    The card appears to have a factory tilt AND a handyman's special. The notch on the edge is the telltale giveaway as is the asymmetrical aspects of the left and right edges (the top and bottom do appear to be relatively symmetrical, however). It may not have been a recent trimming, but there's no way that any TPG would holder that card or even categorize it as a Miscut.

    Sheesh, at least finish trimming it once you start.

    What may have happened in this cards case was the wire that cut it at the factory became dull.

    I'm not positive that it was trimmed.

    I'm not so sure this has been trimmed either.
