Does PSA give favoritism to certain dealers/customers?

Is that correct?

To me - a grade of 8 on that card is not a stretch - What am I missing?

I think the issue with that card in particular is that it is trimmed, and was known to be trimmed when PSA graded it.

It's such a shame that anyone would trim that card. Unfathomable.

And it's unreal that the VERY FIRST CARD PSA GRADED was basically a scam, of many scams to come, and people still submit to them. Ugh.

AHHHH - OK - can see that happening on it.....

If I had to guess - I would say trimmed top and top corners?

Does PSA give favoritism to certain dealers/customers? In theory, no. However, as a very wise man once said:

The card was handcut from a “sheet” by which people probably meant a strip or a panel of a sheet, and then later trimmed again. All sides are probably trimmed.

I don't recall if Bill ever gave specifics about whether he cut all the edges or not. But again, for the 100th time, from my perspective it was already an AUTH when he did so because it was sheet cut to begin with.
