I have purchased two cards, and sent them in for actual grading. They came back A, and not the kind with the description. One card was sold, the current one I have I am actually keeping and could never tell if it was trimmed.

It is super clean on the front & back. I have not researched the card yet to see if it is actually cracked from a case. The card looks flawless to me.

Curious to anyone that has thoughts on this, and appreciate it! It will NOT be a card I sell, as I kicked my self in the butt for missing a Cy Young portrait that was similar to this in appearance.

The main question I have is SGC throwing A’s on nice cards vs giving them a grade and then it is too late to retract?

I believe under their new grading system, they provide a reason why they're giving an Authentic grade. Either trimming, recoloring etc.
