GAI Crossover?

[Marslife]

here is one of my crossovers, I cracked it out of the GAI holder and submitted it raw to SGC. SGC says it has been trimmed as it is thinner than other T206 cards :-(

Did SGC seriously call a T206 AB trimmed solely because it's thinner (narrower, I presume) than other T206 cards?

Where's the animated "facepalm emoji" button?

More appropriate would be a "Blind Grader" emoji :-)

I pressed the issues of course, generic response:

"When our graders determine a card to bear evidence of trimming or to have been miscut, they designate the card an "A" for "Authentic", as those cards are not eligible for numeric grades. The definition of "miscut" is contextual and varies between issues. Our graders are the foremost experts in the industry and we stand behind their determinations."

If you need anything else please let me know

Quite disheartening to hear this about SGC. It seems like their former expertise in pre-war has all but disappeared.

I get that GAI and ASA both had terrible reputations in terms of grading altered cards. However, where are all those cards now that PSA and SGC wouldn't crossover or grade? They are not all in authentic holders. I would hesitate to guess most found their way into PSA and SGC holders eventually if submitted by the right person at the right time.
