I purchased and submitted quite a few ASA cards. So far the ones I submitted (directly to Hager at shows) have all been graded and received similar grades by PSA. The ones I bought already graded from Hager have mostly come back trimmed or altered. The letters Hager used at the beginning of his serial #'d sequence indicated the grader of the card but I have no idea what his was.
I also sent a card in another holder to PSA and requested a 7 or higher. They are not supposed to crack the card out of the holder unless it meets the grade but in this case I guess after they cracked it out they felt it was trimmed so I got it back in NO holder with an evidence of trimming label. In the holder it must have looked okay but after examining it up close they felt it was trimmed.
