You know what grinds my gears?

When I check my submission status at SGC only to find one of the cards I submitted came back as trimmed.

I don't buy too many raw cards anymore for this very reason. I'm tired of paying money for cards plus TPG fees only to have them come back as trimmed.

Jason, I feel your pain !! I just sent a group to PSA and got way too many back as altered or trimmed. Then again, some came back as graded that were originally sent back as altered or trimmed. What a crap shoot !!

just keep the cards raw and enjoy the cards. psa calls the first card they ever graded the psa 8 wagner not trimmed when it has been suggested otherwise.

+1 on keeping it raw, but you could also examine any subs before you send them in, that way you could root out any altered cards before wasting the money.
