I'd say trimmed based on the bottom right corner

I don't think it's trimmed, but I can't answer the "Why hasn't this been graded?" question.
If it's a reprint, it's amazing...therefore I can't fathom it being a reprint.

I mean, the condition is pretty excellent so I wouldn't be surprised to hear that it's untrimmed.

Who is selling it? If it's Mike Wheat, it's probably fine (although probably overgraded).
If not, trimmed. That looks like a vintage dealer's scan - white contrast on the scanner cranked up, black background to show corners

I looked at the back of the scan in the auction and also checked the sellers other auctions. If the seller sells graded singles and a big money card is not graded, it tells me there is something wrong with it or a grading company won't slab it because of it either being altered, trimmed or another reason.

The problem with that is that a difference of only 4 pixels in height is that it is negligable. Scanning a graded card and comparing it to a non-graded can create slight differences in the appearance of size. Then again, a difference in 4 pixels would definitely fall within an acceptable size range for vintage.hofautos said:
It could easily be a sheet cut card, therefore the edges are the giveaway, but I still don't think the size is the problem.
Really, without looking at it in person, it's impossible.
ABSOLUTELY TRIMMED...
I personally won't buy an ungraded vintage (burned on a cobb early in my collecting experiences), but just for fun I contacted seller:
if i ship to psa, and it comes back altered, will you refund my purchase plus the grading fees and shipping?
His Answer:
If it comes back a PSA 9 will you send me additional money for it?

He knows its worth a small fortune if its a 9, yet he won't spend $30 to grade it??
