Here’s an example Mike

This is SGC A

Sean,
I don’t think so to answer your question. Usually either a believed slight trim, hand-cut, a mis-cut, or alteration like color added etc are usually the culprit when it looks too good to be true.

I don’t mind the mis-cuts or the hand-cuts graded A by SGC at all. I actually love the few Cycle 350 Hand-cut SGC A’s that I have, and nothing wrong except the wavy borders.

Also, I have submitted a lot of unaltered low grade T206s, and I almost always get 1’s.

If its A, something is perceived by the grader to be not number grade worthy.
