trimmed PSA cards

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this trend, but I was doing a search on c55s and c56s and there are bunch of PSA graded cards fit losely in the holders they use for t206s, etc while there is another group that is sealed in the plastic baggie floating around like they do with caramel cards. The cards in the t206 type holders do looked trimmed, while the 'floaters' look good.

Anyone else notice this with other cards?

Jay,

I agree... and I actually feel that way about a lot of vintage graded hockey stuff. KSA is better, but I still don't trust their grades either.

For what it's worth, IMO I think, if anything, that KSA is worse when it comes to grading, (compared to PSA and SGC) including hockey cards (and I'm a Canadian). They have graded a lot more hockey cards than anything else because we Canadians don't particularly like sending cards across the border for grading. I think KSA is off by about 1/2 a grade compared to PSA and SGC and they are not particularly good at catching trimmed cards.
