What do you mean by grain/edges? Are you aware that trimmers have found a way to give cards that natural-looking factory cut? This is the reason why so many of these cards got past the graders. Instead of measuring them, they just quickly looked at the edges and saw that everything looked OK.
I think the only way to protect yourself is by measuring them.
