Wanna know what's frustrating?

Buying a vending case, and finally getting lucky. All cards cut unbelievably sharp. Sending them into BGS for grading and having them say they are trimmed. UNBELIEVABLE.

Can't catch the real trimmed cards, but tell me mine are when I know for a fact otherwise.

Beckett rejecting cards as trimmed? Did you submit 1992 Topps Micro cards and put regular 1992 Topps on the submission form or something?

Did you measure them before sending them in? I've learned the hard way that you should always do so, especially for older cards.

And they aren't trimmed. On top of that, BGS and PSA both graded cards from the case before.

Now that's hilarious.

There are thousands of sheet cut OPC cards sitting in BGS 9.5 and 10 holders

I have about 25 of each player cut perfectly. The case was crazy. The only thing was Sakic had a print dot in the same spot on every copy, as did some other studs. Fleury and Leetch were nice though. They rejected my last sub of the Leetch Record Breaker, which is an error card, but pretty low in value.

Why would I measure them when I opened a sealed factory case?

Factory miscuts happen all the time. Sometimes 3rd party grading services mistake miscuts for trimmed cards.

I guess I have to elaborate, then.

Shucks, Iwas trying to avoid typing a lot since I'm preparing a BGS sub, and my cards are piled high all round my hands.

I bought the case sealed from Kruk cards for about 100 beans back in the mid-90's. All the cards are gorgeous. BGS has slabbed about 8 of my Leetch RCs, 10 of my Fleury RCs, and a coupe of others (ROY Vezina, etc.) from the case.

PSA has graded some as well.

I decided to go through the box once more last year when Leetch was announced as a HOF candidate.

I thought maybe the Record Breaker card (exlusive to the OPC set, and an uncorrected error of a diff. player's photo) would be worth grading. I sent them in and they came back as non-graded with evidence of trimming.

Same cards, same case, same cuts, same grading companies.

Different grader. Everything is subjective. Until robots do the job for them someday.

And remember, miscuts can occur within cases containing perfectly cut cards as well.

Here's my example - a couple of years ago, I sent in about 25 Maybin Chrome AFLACs to PSA. About 5 of them came back as "Evidence of trimming", while the rest got 9's and 10's.

After that, I promised myself to measure my cards every time.

How come the robots that give obvious 9's 9.5's and 10's (at PSA) never seem to grade my oders?

I'm actually happy with BGS. They grade my cards fairly, but the trimmed thing made me feel like someone accused me of stealing.

Mike - I added a little story of my own to my last post above.

89-90 OPC Hockey, well all 80s OPC Hockey is notorious for miscuts. I too had a Sakic RC rejected as trimmed, as well as a 88/89 Hull RC as trimmed. These were cards that i pulled when the packs first came out.
