The paper loss on the top corners may be due to the premium previously having been taped to something. Maybe there is still some tape residue in the corners which would have led to the Altered qualifier?

The saga is finally over. SGC has returned Mr. Williams and I figure it is fitting on his birthday to share this! What PSA saw I will never know, but I'm thankful SGC realized the truth that it was not an altered card.
The Trinity is complete! Now to find an auction house... |

Why is this even a thing with cards? With comic books the graders will more-or-less tell you exactly what the alteration is. Why shouldn't card graders tell their customers the reason for such an assessment? It boggles my mind.
I think SGC did a great thing by at least now telling you the basic alteration they've detected.

SGC used to indicate on the card saver with a sharpie the area that resulted in a card being rejected, if they were returning in unslabbed. Now TPG can just hide behind the fact that they are too busy to take the time. Again this all leads to less transparency, less value for your dollar and one more missed chance at being educated thereby making us better buyers and better submitters.

Brandon- first off, GREAT cards! I'm glad you finally got it in a proper holder.
I have also noticed recently, on our beloved site, a couple of PSA T206s that were given "MC" qualifiers because a microscopic portion of the player's name and team were cut (by the factory) off at the bottom. This is insane, it just cripples the value of wonderful cards, and utterly fails to take into account the inexact nature of less sophisticated printing techniques from 100+ years ago. It's the work of small minds- Trent King |

Regardless of what BODA would like you to believe, PSA does not consider tape removal to be an alteration, so it shouldn't have been because of that.
The truth is that most of the time the graders are guessing with respect to alterations (at every grading company and even with the most experienced senior graders). Yes, some are obvious, but most are not. This is why you can send the same card in 3 times and get a different opinion every time. It's also why you can send in pack pulled cards and have them returned with "evidence of trimming". The reason PSA fails to provide an explanation for cards they slab as altered is evidence of their hubris. They know they have a strong hold over the market and they don't care about customer service. At all. I also think they don't want to put their opinions out there on record because then they could be held to account for it later on after someone resubmits the card and gets a different opinion the next time. They have to know that their consistency is all over the map these days. They just can't admit it publicly. They want to conceal this fact you whatever extent possible, and not giving you an explanation for your grades is likely a key component of that strategy. |
