Posted By: <b>MW</b><p>This is not meant as a defense of BGS, but I've handled quite a few O-Pee-Chee sets from the 1980s and I can tell you that there is considerable variation in size. There is also quite a bit of variation in the types of cuts I have seen. This is true for both hockey and baseball. Do some legitimate 1980s OPC cards have a relatively smooth cut and appear as if they have been cut from a sheet? Absolutely.<BR><BR>I think the seller is well-intentioned, but based on his statement and his feedback, perhaps some of his unstudied criticism is unwarranted.

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>While I can not comment on the newer series cards, whenever I see something that runs against the grain I immediately look at feedback. The seller has a lot of good feedback but does have quite a few "issues" too.

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>Just to give you an idea how long I have been out of the hobby, Does Becckett still own a card shop or two? I know that back in the 80s this was major sore point with a lot of people since the guy was producing a price guide and at the same time had a vested interest in what happened to prices of various cards.<BR><BR>Jay
