When is a Hostess Twinkie card "panel" not a "panel?"

I subbed a 1977 Hostess Twinkie (Cupcake actually) single serve uncut card panel to PSA and it was returned as Hand Cut Authentic.

And now the rant...
PSA says it is NOT a "panel" because of it's size.
Quote: "...due to the size not meeting the requirement to be considered a "Complete Panel"
Huh?!?
There are 7 different sizes of Hostess single serve uncut card panels depending on the snack product included.

The Cey being included with the Cupcakes, just like Geronimo, Koosman, and Templeton card panels.

But NO, those aren't "panels" according to PSA, but the bigger ones are, like the Murcer and Monday card panels.

Now THOSE are panels. Sorry guys, but size matters.

So they treat these as the same. Handcut vs complete original panel
Finding one complete with minimal staining is tough, and had I known, I would have cut it to get nice sharp corners.

Now here's the kicker. My card apparently received an Authentic grade because it didn't meet the size requirement of a panel even though it is the originally distributed size and has not been hand cut.

Im sure PSA will be glad to re-evaluate if you pay them again

After doing some digging, I guess I was wrong.
Found other examples and apparently PSA has been treating the Cupcake panels the same as Hand Cut all along.

When I looked up the POP report for 1977 Hostess Twinkies and saw some players having Hand Cut AND Complete Panels with very low POP, I wouldn't figure that only applied to some panels. I just thought a Cey panel has never been graded yet.

I still disagree with PSAs premise, but it's certainly too late to change anything.
I guess I'm the proud owner of the most expensive, lowest graded Hostess Twinkie Cey not-a-panel card.
But hey, it's for the PC so I can at least check it off the list.
