Default Grading and tilt / diamond cuts

I think this as a topic before has been visited, but not recently. What are your thoughts on how PSA handles cards with tilt or diamond cutting issues? They would not appear to penalize for it.

This ‘72 (the psycho’s seem to be a set rife with these issues) which arrived today was not bad enough for me to notice it before I pulled the trigger on the card, so I’m not complaining. But clearly the issue is there - in this case I believe it is tilt (image skewed slightly to the left) and not a true diamond cut. I have a raw ‘73 Schmidt that is the same way. Both to me not overly noticeable unless you stare at the card for a while. In the case of this Carew, I looked again on eBay and it seems difficult to find this particular card at all without some combination of tilt or a centering problem.
