Default More concerned about trimming

I hardly ever see anything by CSA. Are they sketchy? Is a CSA 8 the same as a PSA, SGC or BVG 8? If it is the same, this card could probably be talked down, cracked out, and regraded for a pretty good bargain. Other M116 PSA 8 Mathewson's ive seen have sold for quite a bit more in auction.

I bought a CSA graded T206 McIntyre card this summer. It was graded a 7. I cracked open the casing and measured it. As suspected, it was trimmed. The good news is that I didn't pay a lot for it, which is why I took a chance on it to begin with. I've heard that it is not unusual to find CSA and GAI graded cards trimmed. Be wary.

p.s. Anyone want a trimmed but otherwise beautiful T206 McIntyre?
