Poll Should GA disclose that the PSA 6.5 and SGC MIN SIZE Dimaggios are same card?

"If a card is trimmed, it's altered. If a card came from the factory a particular size, it should be graded with a number grade."

I thought the whole point of "minimum size not met" was the assumption that any card below that size couldn't have "come from the factory" that size and therefore was surely trimmed after it left the factory. What am I missing?

No, cards come cut short from the factory all the time. If the card was trimmed they would grade it "Evidence of Trimming."

I think you just stated the why without knowing it.

If the card is very undersized but with factory cuts many people will see it short in the slab and assume that it's trimmed. And worse, that the grading company was at best incompetent.

Of my three rejects, two could have gotten a number grade, but might be seen by others who didn't see if in hand as trimming that SGC missed.
