That is correct but if it was just taking say an exacto knife to a corner, that would come back as trimmed. If a ding is dipped in water and flattened out and because it got flattened out and became thinner than the rest of the card, the corner would extend beyond a normal corner, then a scissors or other cutting tool is used to square it...that is trimming. "Altered" would be adding paper stock to the corner as well as doing other things such as coloring. But "altered" and "trimming" could sometimes be synonymous and I'm not going to argue semantics.
Hey Nicky - I'm not looking to browbeat a member of this forum over an ebay auction. But I call 'em as I see 'em. Judging from your response, you fully believe that your intentions were good and that of course should be respected. But even good intentions can turn out to be incorrect and in my view it was incorrect to focus only on the edges (card size) when the corners could have and from looking at the bottom right corner of the scan (and probably also the top left corner) possibly was the reason for SGC not grading the card.
I have openly stated before that grading companies should give a bit more detailed explanation of the reason for grading rejection other than just a few quick buzzwords.
