Thanks.

As far as I know, none of the TPGs will explain their grades. It would just be too much work and too time consuming as they would have to do it for everybody.
I have had SGC explain to me why cards would not cross over. For example, I sent in a T206 PSA 4 Molly Miller to SGC for a crossover and they would not cross it over to the grade requested (SGC 50 or 4). They informed me that it had a crease on the back and even pointed it out. Sure enough, they were right.
I also had a 1961 Topps Willie Mays that was graded a BVG 8 that I sent to SGC for cross over as well. I requested an 8 on that one and it wouldn't cross either. They told me it was trimmed on the bottom. I couldn't see it, but I'll take their word for it.
So, to answer your question, I think the only company to give explanations of grades is SGC and they'll only do that on cross overs that don't cross. I hope that helped.
Maybe you should post some scans of cards that you're confused about and we'll try to help you out. Maybe we can see something you don't.
