I've sent strip cards to both SGC and PSA and it's like playing craps. Obviously, a strip card has to have all four margins to receive a numerical grade (although, I've had exceptions). But, in my opinion, on any given strip card submission, whether one receives a grade other then "A," depends solely on the grader. Regrettably, there just isn't any ryhme or reason to the process. I'll post a pic later today of a recently submitted SGC graded Cobb strip card, that I thought was a 100% candidate for a number grade. Alas it came back authentic.
Lovely Day...
