PSA Trimmed card

The Alomar Score Glossy is notorious for bad centering. Well this PSA 10 currently running is really short on the right side, compared to a PSA 9 with the same centering. How do they miss this?

Wow, it's not even a good trimmed card. You can see some curvature

The serial number on the "10" indicates the card was graded a while back when the standards were a bit looser unfortunately. I would not buy any card with a serial number starting lower than a 4. Some seller try to disguise this by reholdering cards to get the new label.

It is our job as collectors to not just buy the grade, but inspect the card inside the slab. If I see a card with spacing like that in the slab, I just pass and let someone else buy the grade. Would much rather have a PSA 8 that fits the case and is a bit off-centered that a perfectly centered PSA 10 that is cut that short even from the factory.

3 of the 58 10s ever graded in sequential order including the card in the OP. My guess is a 9999rbush trim job. If not him, it was Burge.

Its pretty bad, easily seen by the space in the holder. All examples of this glossy card are off centered so seeing some centered examples always made me question them. This one by far was the easiest to spot. Guess they didnt bother measuring this one before grading it.
