I was at a show many years ago in Cleveland and I was adjacent to a now major grading company's table. A dealer who was a regular customer of theirs, dropped off a stack of topps cards. He returned a few hours later and was screaming! The cards were graded 6s and 7s. After his tirade, he was instructed to leave the cards and return in an hour. All of the cards were now 7s and 8s. Now this was a long time ago, 8 to 10 years maybe. But it still matters who submits the cards. I submitted a K-bats card to a major company, it was returned as trimmed, the card wasn't trimmed. I was consigning it to a major auction house and told them it wouldn't grade. It was later slabbed in front of me a VG/EX 4.
