UNGRADEABLE CARDS: PSA will not grade cards that bear evidence of trimming, re-coloring, restoration, or any other forms of tampering, or are of questionable authenticity. In addition, PSA does not grade autographed cards dated earlier than 1998 or any cards manufactured by Star except Star Baseball and 1996 Star Topps (reprint) Basketball Cards; only factory imprint signatures can be graded.

I was looking at this card on eBay yesterday. It appears that PSA no longer places trimmed cards into holders. Either that, or this particular seller simply removed the card from a holder, and is selling it raw.

PSA doesn't seem to have hard and fast rules on the grading of altered cards.
Seems to me they will slab a card altered with or without notations such as "trimmed" or "recolored etc.
I have two cards slabbed that are "authentic" "altered". One is a Killebrew rookie that simply says "altered" the other is a 1968 Plaks Checklist that is labeled "altered" and also says "trimmed". Both of these cards (especially the Plaks checklist) are rather uncommon. The rookie card looks like a 9.
PSA has returned several cards to me ungraded that I bought that were authentic but were not slabbed.

Won't take long to find the answer on this board!

I physically saw one today that was slabbed as 'ALTERED' on the left hand side of the label.
