What to do with PSA rejections???

Hey Guys,
Every now and again, PSA refuses to grade one of my cards for any number of reasons listed in the Grading Standards section -- most often because they're trimmed. Most of my prewar stuff will be slabbed Authentic upon request, but what should I start doing with everything else? I'll usually sell my surplus vintage BB stuff once it's been upgraded or when I lose interest in that particular set, but what would be the ethical thing to with the remaining N-0/N-9 cards? Rip them in half? Hole punch them? Sell/trade them in the Card Savers returned from PSA, which features a serial number and reason for rejection? I'm curious to hear some thoughts. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Scout

Yes.
I have 5 1971 Reds all rejected by PSA and 9 1959 Topps Football several of which have been trimmed. I noticed the 59s were not right and at least did not spend to have them graded. The 71s look very nice. I worried that someone would resell the 71s raw but I know that no one on these boards would do such a thing.
Anyone that will pay $3.00 for me to send can have them.
BTW It serves me right on the 71s. I should stick with vintage and stay away from those new shiny cards.

There's a chance that card ends up being relisted on ebay as a raw nm card, but you can't control what scammers will do.
When I have rejected cards I want to keep, I usually get them SGC slabbed.
OK lets take this one step further. A few months ago I purchased a Box of 1988 Fleer Basketball from a very reputable Seller. I examined the packs when I got it and they were fine, untampered. So I Ripped all 36 packs and over the course of 3 different submissions. (When the PSA Graders were on one of their EOD Binges) I subbed about 100 of them, 30 or so came back EOD. These cards came fresh out of packs and were and still are some of the most beautiful Centered cards from this set I have ever seen, and Not trimmed. (I mean who opens, trims and re-seals packs of this $ range, lets get real).
So what do you do with those cards?
I didn't sell them and if you want to know what the final outcome was it will have to be by PM.

And rather than take a chance, I made sure no one would be able to pass it off as unaltered:
JIm I can't fault this guy, he clearly says that they said it was altered. They never said trimmed and he believes it isn't.

<< <i>I guess I forgot the obvious answer. Get it graded by a subprime grader, list it on ebay and say PSA was wrong. The 51 bowman Mays is not trimmed, it came from the factory with wavy sides? >>
<< <i>The question is- What do the big PSA dealers do with their rejects; or do they not get any???? >>
I have seen some list them as rejects and there are plenty of takers who buy them!
