That seems rather harsh, especially coming from SGC. A card with an otherwise 7 appearance even miscut is going to look pretty out of place in a 3 slab with other "NM" attributes. I hope this is not a larger trend...PSA I can understand going more with the popular sentiment, whim - making grading more difficult over time - but SGC has always had the reputation of being the fair graders with collectors.
In the end, if this continues - it just goes more to prove the point I've been trying to make for years - that all grading, no matter how "professional" - is subjective.
