It does look like there's some fade/color bleed on the front, top border - but soaking or age/otherwise, still have not seen that one as a reason for the "A"

I guess it isn't ok to soak cards. I wonder if the winner will try to cross it to PSA.

[pokerplyr80]

I had a card I submitted to PSA come back altered stock which I believe was the result of soaking. My first and only battlefield purchase.

I highly doubt that's the whole story.

It doesn't say soaked in water, I would bet that the cardstock is noticeably altered if it was out of the tomb. Either pressed and too thin, brittle from chemical soaking or other.

I think the lower left corner is what caused it to get the "A" grade.

Good eye.

You're right, it does look bleached or erased.

[Bpm0014]

Does the top border looked trimmed? Or no?

[pawpawdiv9]

Great info guys, that's the card I had planned to bid on. Thanks!

They have added an addendum that it is likely trimmed.

Addendum (4/5/17, 10:40 AM): SGC does not keep records regarding the reason a card grades the way it does, but further examination of this card after several bidder inquiries reveals that a very slight trim may also have contributed to the Authentic designation though we cannot be sure.

ok...will WAJO be next???? a little more sensitive an "alteration" over there!!

The fact that they don't keep a record of why a card grades the way it does is extremely interesting. Anyone know if this is just them or is it the same across the board with other TPGs?
