I've noticed that some PSA Authentic slabs list a reason for the Authentic designation. For example, I've seen TRIMMED, ALTERED, HAND CUT, TEST SET-NO TAB. It seems to me that if a card is just plain AUTHENTIC, most collectors will assume it's trimmed. I think all authentics should have a reason listed on the slip. I just recently sent in a 1950 Hopalong Cassidy Foil which came back a N-8, Factory Miscut. PSA didn't slab it. I called Joe Orlando and was contacted by Laura. She told me to send it back and that they would slab it. On the submission form, I asked to have the slip give a reason for the authentic designation. It came back a straight AUTHENTIC, no reason. Most will now assume it is trimmed. I think all authentics should have a reason given on the slip. I will call and try to talk to Joe in person.
