That's one of the reasons I wish they'd put the reason on the flip. Many that get the A grade are trimmed or altered, but some are just cards that are undersize or have unusual cuts. When I get those back they have the reason on the grading slip, and online it shows the rejection code so why not put it on the flip? there's plenty of room for a rejection code.

I understand why they won't grade them. Too many people would see an undersize card and instantly think trimmed. So it's not worth putting it out there with a grade. But Something like A (MS) for a factory cut but undersize card shouldn't be all that hard.

Going just by looks, many of the A cards look great. And if that's what someone collects that's not so bad. I have a couple that I won't bother to upgrade that were rejected as miscut or too small. And another that's trimmed that's a really great looking card. It's hard to justify buying a less attractive card that's even VG.
