Hey dudes,
I recently submitted a 1939 Play Ball Sample Hank Greenberg card that had been graded a BVG 1.5 to be crossed by SGC.

And this is what I got back from them
http://i317.photobucket.com/albums/mm370/broth6/IMG_20130208_170757_065.jpg
So, my question is three-fold.
1. Why would Beckett grade a card that did not meet it's size requirements?
2. What is the difference between a card being 'small' and being trimmed?
3. Do you think that since the nature of the card is a promotion, or a sample, that it cannot be judged against issued 1939 Play Ball cards' dimensions?
Please provide some insight, just looking for some answers right now.
Brian
