Should I worry about CSA Grading

QUITCRAB

I am looking at a card on ebay-it is in a csa holder 7.5-I figure it should be a strong psa 6 maybe a psa 7-should I worry about the card being trimmed-not to familiar with CSA
Thanks Scott

I've dealt with them once. Years ago before I knew anything about anyone I bought 2 cards graded by them. Both ended up fakes. I have also heard that if they are not fake they are most likely trimmed (but that is just what i hear).

I searched some old post on this sight and it seems they like to grade cards that have been trimmed-I am going to steer clear of CSA Scott

2 cards, 1 in old PSA like holder came back ok, 1 in big blue ugly holder came back trimmed.

I heard that the owner used to be the head grader at BGS.

He went on to start his own grading company because he did not agree with Beckett's stict policy of not grading sheet-cut and trimmed cards.

thanks for the input-
why would someone (grading company) think it was okay to grade a trimmed card-every card in the world submitted would then be trimmed to a smaller size to obtain 4 sharp corners..pretty crazy concept
