Kudo's to PSA for the "handcut" designation

I would think that a card can only be either factory cut, or hand cut. If there is another method of seperating the card I am intrigued.....

Second, if a card can only be legitly graded numerically if it can't be trimmed/cut down to improve the grade, and still 'make the weight' so to speak in terms of dimensions, I would think that leaves every vintage issue un-gradeable.
I'm sure I've seen oversized examples of nearly every issue over the years, any of which are candidates for trimming and hopeful mint 9's from PSA.
I personally think the total number of candidates from any issue that is hand cut and can be taken advantage of to 'steal' higher grades is so small, begruding the rest of the cards a grade is kind of silly.
As long as you have minimum measurements for any card issue, where's the problem?
