I have to agree with David's subtle comment on this one. No conclusion with any real meaning can be drawn by this sample of two. We don't even get the benefit of looking at the cards ourselves. It is just as logical to conclude that SGC and GAI don't know how to identify a trimmed card as it is to conclude that PSA is "clueless". That GAI was inconsitent in this instance does not necessarily lead to the conclusion that they favor certain submitters. I am not arguing that any of these presumptions are not the case. I am just saying that the evidence presented does not necessarily support these conclusions. Like political polls, the media and politicians spin them so that they lead to the conclusions they hope will be drawn.
I certainly like the idea of doing this and would love to see more of this done in a more controlled experiment with a larger sample.
