If you have a dotted cut line visable leave it that way. I sent in a couple W551's to SGC that measured full size with no crooked cuts, but they only graded AUT. I was told that they need to measure full size with the dotted cut line visable. However, I also have seen many SGC graded strips that are obviously too small. Strip cards are the one chink in SGC's armour in my opinion. Other than that they do a fine job. I personnaly think that even if a strip card measures small it should grade, but with no grade higher than for example, an SGC30. I'm not a fan of qualifiers, but a "cut small" qualifier would be needed, so it would be known why in some cases a strip with four sharp corners graded so low. Of course, cards that look like they got caught in a wood chipper should not grade at all.
