It's been my experience (& that of a few friends) that Grading Companies regularly reject a card already in another TPG's holder for evidence of trimming or some other fabricated "flaw" simply because the card is in another holder.

I've had three rejected, all T206s

Miscut top and bottom -rough factory cut that I guess was just a bit too rough.
Min size- yeah, small top to bottom but factory. The vertical dimension I think gets looked at harder than side to side.
EOT- Got it back and checked it and wondered why I'd sent it in the first place. Definitely trimmed, but nice and even so also a deceptive trim. I won't be resending unless it's to get it slabbed as "A" before selling.

Modern cards would be a bit tougher to tell, since the edges are typically cleaner all around.

I've had SGC call a card trimmed...only to end up in an sgc holder with a grade by someone else at a later date.

I've had SGC call a card altered...only to have it end up in a PSA holder mid-graded.

I've had a t206 downgraded by PSA to a lesser grade...this was the most shocking to me!!!!

Is someone actually questioning SGC on this forum? Damn, where's the media?

Do to worry it's still 5000/1 in SGC's favor.
