Cards would fall into 3 categories: Pass, Fail (altered), more review needed. Fails are rejected and the other 2 go through the same process as before for actual grading.

Heck, based on how many trimmed cards are getting through, if they were to implement this, it would easily cut PSA's return time in half.
I'm still not totally convinced trim can even be detected...machine or no machine??????? Especially if a card falls within acceptable tolerances.

And what about factory cut cards that are smaller?
