Because at least the 2 original sellers (while in the SGC slab) were either hobby uneducated or given bad advice. Graders can’t even measure cards anymore and when it's a very close call, seems they flip a coin. I told auburn on twitter pretty much the same last week or so as I thought the card looked legit back in Oct enough to bid on it. I Lost. Ugh.
This entire ordeal reminds me of the AGA graded 1935 National Chcle Bronko N card from last spring ( PSA would only grade it altered so it sold on eBay for $8k) and new owner sold 6-7 months later for est. $65K in a shiny new PSA 5.5 or 6.5 holder . The eBay seller also should have tried to resubmit outside of the then current holder.
As a person who sends cards to get graded (mainly star basketball cards purchased in a collection & whatever modern cards my son wants), the grading inconsistency is grown even more frustrating…. I dislike the grading game but what can we do other than help educate each other & ourselves by adapting.

If that is true, then why would the original submitter sell the card in the SGC authentic? Why would the auction house misrepresent the card as being manual trimmed? Why would the seller allow their card to be misrepresented in any way as being manually trimmed? By selling it as SGC Authentic and being represented as manually trimmed they know that it would obviously bring in a lower price. Which is not what the seller or the auction house wants.
