I and many guys I know over the years have had many, many cards take several tries-- but eventually the card wound up in the desired holder or close to it. Hope that helps allay any anxiety regarding your initial results. I recall how I felt the first time that happened to me-- but the cards eventually graded out fine.
This crazy behavior is the problem. It proves either the graders don't have a clue what they are doing or PSA is straight up scamming people by rejecting cards they know will get submitted again.

Either way how do people keep falling for their tricks. PT Barnum wouldn't even believe this scam and how well it has worked.

I do understand the need for grading companies and think they are a good thing if done correctly.

Default Minimum size
You do not get charges a grading fee. You do if they deem it trimmed but not if they label min size. So it is obviously not some sort of scam.

I emailed PSA a week ago regarding vouchers for the "min size" cards and haven't heard a word.

This minimum size thing is BS. The card is either trimmed or as issued. If the latter it should be slabbed. This isn't precision machined aerospace parts we are dealing with. There will be variation.
