TOTAL SPECULATION on my part...
I think they were submitting the altered cards under "minimum grade" service.
We know there are chunks of certain submissions with missing/unused numbers around cards that have been shown to likely be altered.
I don't submit cards for grading so I can't say this for certain, maybe someone who does can chime in.
My understanding is that if you just submit under normal service and they think it's been altered, you get it back with an "evidence of trimming" or "altered" label on the card saver.
However, if you submit under minimum grade and it doesn't make it for any reason, it just comes back saying it didn't meet minimum grade.
If you didn't want to "know" that PSA thought it was trimmed, the min grade service would be a good way to do it.
Again, not sure I'm right on this so hoping someone else who really does know can confirm or correct.
