Default Answer to how little of a card SGC will grade

Posted By: warshawlaw

is to raise the issue of whether there is any real difference between a card like this one and a card that has been trimmed. If a card missing a corner that has been "nipped" off and with a chunk out of its side is gradeable, why isn't a card with a missing bottom border also gradeable as a poor condition card?

My take on it is that the services "make their bones" detecting allegedly trimmed cards and build their advertising around it, but a card like this one, which has been obviously trimmed, is readily apparent to anyone looking at it, so there is no marketable element to rejecting it.
