KSA Grading Company (Canada)

Did Sgc tell you what edges they thought were trimmed? The graders over there are becoming notorious for handing out "A"s on pre-war cards that may have been cut small at the factory.

They told me corner(s), my guess is top left and possibly bottom right?

If I am unsuccessful in getting KSA to do anything with this, as expected, what are some thoughts regarding whether to cross over to PSA or SGC Authentic or leave in the KSA 1 holder. Which would bring greater value? I also realize that none of the major auction houses will likely run the card in the existing KSA holder so I would probably be on my own selling it and I would fully expect the first question coming from potential buyers is whether or not I have attempted to cross over.

At one point I considered sending cards to KSA...when there were no options for affordable grading with reasonable turn around times. I looked on eBay completed and active listings and saw it was basically one seller offering vintage KSA cards. https://www.ebay.com/usr/irishhosta?...75.m3561.l2559 Almost every card appeared small or had an irregular cut. In many instances cards had horrible centering but got very high grades too. I concluded KSA was the place where problem cards went.

KSA has been around for a long time. in my opinion, and it's just that, KSA has never established itself as a credible and significant competitor in the TPG space, even for hockey cards.
