I think this thread was inspired by the thread on the post-war board where Buster posts late in the night.
None of the cards have ever been posted, but the three grading companies all have slightly different definitions of what a NM-MT 8 is. The biggest difference is centering: BGS is stricter than PSA who is likely stricter than SGC. One judges "natural" rough cuts while others may accept "sheet cut" cards cut after the factory production.

PSA has done some dumb things on large submissions before, rejecting approximately 100 cards in an order as ?AUTH (aka likely fake) just because the submitter sent them in toploaders that were taped at the top. That guy has a real axe to grind, because they probably charged for that service, despite not providing the guy any useful service. I know it was posted on the CU/PSA message boards, but I think that thread went poof.
