OPINION: SGC got it wrong.

That's how they were distributed apparently, and by a different (if related) company, so why not a separate designation, don't see the issue.

Ostensibly because SGC can't determine whether the cut was done in the period or if it was done later.

If this is the reason that they will not grade the issue I don’t really have a problem with it, that being said it appears from their correspondence that they were not aware of the issue at all, which I find a bit troublesome.

I could be wrong but I believe the large Beckett Almanac has these listed. It isn’t an unknown set, although I struggle calling them V351-B as opposed to a variation of R303 that were distributed in Canada, although I suppose they would need a V-designation if they were distributed in Canada.
