Couple of questions and comments:

So i'm already seeing a PSA overaction to trimmed cards., which kinda like an umpire calling balls and strikes, just want to see consistency. So the bad guys get away with huge upside, while we get stung paying fees for trimmed cards..Feel like PSA shouldn't charge for "trimmed cards" if they deem trimmed as they are seemingly overreacting at high rates.

Example: we buy cards direct from the source all time. i.e. a guy in his 60's selling a shoebox from the 1960's. PSA has viewed some of these as trimmed. Completely impossible, these cards haven't seen the light of day for 50 years, unless they were trimmed for their bicycle spokes


SIDE Q: Can PSA actually detect if chemicals were used?

In my experience from friends who submit to PSA. They do not charge for cards they don't slab. Now if you start to regularly send in cards they wont slab they start charging for them. These are just average collectors who don't submit a lot of cards.

They might be able to detect bleach if it is still dripping from the card.

Not true Ben. If it's a card from a set that they don't grade or for some other reason don't need to evaluate they won't charge you. But for trimming, recoloring, or other alteration they have to evaluate the card and charge you accordingly.

Maybe it is different for different people. Like I have said many times I have never submitted a card to PSA so I can only go by what I have been told. I had this conversation with a friend about 2 months ago. He was mad because PSA started charging him for rejected cards. He only collects rare error cards and many super rare error/scrap cards are altered.

That kind of sums it all up, right there. Different people falling under a different set of rules and standards.
