I don't think there's any rhyme or reason. I bought a T206 graded AUT by GAI. It was obviously torn out of an album, as it is missing the four corners. I submitted it to SGC, which also graded it AUT. The card had never been "altered," per se (i.e. trimmed), just lost some things along the way...
Given that there does not appear to be any protocol, it kind of sucks tbat unaltered cards get the same designations as altered cards. Oh well, at least they're not fakes...
