I like rough cuts too...no doubt caused by factory cutting. I disagree though about a "rough cut" not affecting the grade. I notice the 7s and 8s are near flawless (except for the rough cut) what I would like to see is if anyone has an example of a 9 or 10? I would be willing to bet that a rough cut will not grade a 9 or 10 soooo yes it does affect the grade. Dave ps about 54s having no top white border....that was by design of topps. TPGs have a difficult time telling when a 54 is centered top to bottom. Much like the 54 topps hockey where with white backgrounds tpgs just don't "get" the centering on those cards.
