SGC card returned as likely trimmed. Help me understand.

I hate to say this but grading is "subjective".

On that particular day, the card the grader "Authentic" and it was not, in the graders humble/useless opinion, deserving of a numerical grade, that day.

If another grader was tasked to grade it or if that same grader reviewed it on another day, then it may have received a "1'.

When TPGs provide numerical grades to cards that have the bottom trimmed (for example, Zeenuts or Redman), then pretty much anything goes.

We can always fall back on the first PSA graded card, right?

When I used to send cards in for grading, I would let them know to encapsulate it, even if it was going to get the dreaded "A" because if I took the time to send it in, then it was worth having the protection of the slab.

As to the TRM - who ever trimmed the OPS card did a lousy job.
