Welcome, Big Six! PSA, Deep Six!

Here's the Matty I won at Huggins and Scott. I am very pleased with it, as I am with all the T205s I won at that auction.
I'm also pleased with Heritage, as I won from them a 1938 Goudey DiMaggio in PSA 6, for less than my maximum bid (which is always a good thing).
I am also pleased with Robert Edward Auctions, as they were happy to take my 1953 Topps complete set and 1961 Topps near set on consignment, as I am finally liquidating the last of my accumulations of 1950s and 60s stuff in favor of more prewar HOFers, T205s and W502s.
I am NOT pleased with PSA, as they somehow managed to mess up an entire submission of mine, mostly 1938 Goudeys. One card in particular has been back four times and received four different grades.
This is it:
Old Hank began his incredible journey with me as a raw card, purchased from a respected, long-time dealer. I felt he was a 5 (so did the dealer). On his first submission he came back a 4. So I cracked it and resubmitted it, and it came back a 3. I laughed at my rotten luck, and cracked the card and submitted it a third time.
It came back a 2.
So I cracked it out and sent it back in to PSA. PSA rejected it - "not holdered, evidence of trimming."
