Posted By: <b>Greg Ecklund</b><p>I don't see why it shouldn't be encapsulated if it hasn't been altered in any way - they should just give it a grade that takes the miscut into account.<br /><br />I've seen E90-1's that were miscut almost as badly that were encapsulated.

Posted By: <b>warshawlaw</b><p>Hi Leon:<br /><br />If the card isn't altered (and they don't seem to be saying it is), it should be gradeable (is that a word?). Of course, the grade will stink...<br /><br />Personally, I don't bother having miscuts and misprints slabbed because of the smacking they take on the technical grade. <br /><br />Regards, <br /><br />Adam

Posted By: <b>runscott</b><p>they won't grade it because they would take an even WORSE beating from you guys if it ended up in an SGC slab. I don't blame them for not grading it.

Posted By: <b>Jack Hurley</b><p>This might be obvious, but will it fit in a holder if<br />it is oddly shapen or asymetrical?; I have seen them reject cards because<br />they simply do not fit.<br />

Posted By: <b>Rhett</b><p>I have to agree with Scott on this one. While I can't say whether or not the top cut was done at manufacturing or by a later collector without actually examining the card, I feel this card may be in the same category as many caramel cards (especially E90-1) that have period cuts but are technically too small to holder. If that card belonged to Joe Shmoe and was listed on ebay, we would have a heyday talking about the trim job if it were holdered by SGC, I think a grading company was actually using their brain on this one...there is a first for everything.<br />-Rhett
