Card Trimming?

I have read alot of stuff here the last few days about card trimming. Why would someone NOT be confident of a card
in a 9.5 or 10 holder? Is that in reference to just BGS?

    a lot of those 9.5 are sheet cut. Personally I dont have a problem with a sheet cut card but some others are mortified by them. PSA will not grade a sheet cut card if the same card was available in sets/packs.

    How can they tell?

    If I had a sheet of '79 OPC Hockey (which happens to be up for auction on Lelands) and cut out the Gretzky useing an exacto knife or one of those old paper chopper cutter things like you had in school... how? image

    Edges from OPC were cut with wire and leave a rough cut. The laser cut sheet cards have edges like Upper Deck cards. Now some people have said they have seen some OPC come out with no rough cut. The PSA 10 OPC Gretzky RC doesn't look like it has a rough cut and I busted out plenty of boxes back then with all of them always having a rough cut.

    I think some people are really good with trimming or doctoring and can fool even the best graders. BGS does grade laser cut cards....there are quite a few dealers here in Canada that have the entire Pop report of BGS 9.5's in hockey because they buy sheets left and right. But please don't tell me that PSA doesn't let some slip in there.
