I thought SGC didn't grade restored card?

In the oh so subjective world of grading by SGC and PSA I've found one consistency - that being inconsistency.

I have an UGLY T205 Cobb that is absolutely original and authentic. It's very beat with a paper scrape on the front. Someone obviously colored it in (not even coming close to matching the color) and SGC rejected it as altered "color added". I thought it was a bit amusing that this card would be rejected. All I wanted was an SGC10 holder for it. Oh well, I guess it was the wrong day to have it submitted. I've had PSA reject cards for being trimmed but upon a second submission they graded them. I honestly didn't believe they were trimmed so that is why I tried it again. Go figure...
