Joe- it's complicated, and the grading services know they could lose customers under certain circumstances. I think they need to protect themselves legally.

But I do agree with you that even trimming can be subjective. I once sent in a T222 to be graded and it came back trimmed. I waited a few months, sent it back to the same company, and got a numerical grade.

There is no definitive answer to any of this. However, in the case of a counterfeit card, the term subjective may no longer apply.
