Posted By: <b>runscott (Scott F.)</b><p>Edited because I spewed forth meaningless dribble and needed to retract it <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br /><br />MW - why is this not in an SGC or PSA holder? I have a load of blank-backed cards from the early '60s that were hand-cut from a sheet, which is why SGC rejected them. I would think that SGC would grade these Maris cards as long as they weren't hand-cut.<br />

Posted By: <b>hankron</b><p>When creating a set, the artists/printers sometimes had several potential cards for a player. Sometimes the variations would be involve the image, once in a while the team if a player moved. The Maris is legitimate and valuable. There also is a similar and rarely seen 1977 Topps card showing Reggie Jackson as a Baltimore Oriole.

Posted By: <b>Aaron M.</b><p>Do you know if this is something PSA would encapsulate as "Authentic" or would they just reject the card as trimmed (or hand-cut)?

Posted By: <b>Anthony</b><p>Mine is graded PSA Authentic, and I've seen others with similar grade. Centering on this card is usually pretty awfu (95-5), MW's has the best centering of the dozen or so I"ve seen.
