Judge Dred (Fred)Why is it that strip cards with razor sharp corners and edges (being graded as 8's or higher) can pass the scrutiny of the grading companies. Those cards were hand cut at some point in time so how is it that the grading services grade those cards. Not to try and give anyone any ideas but...
people can give the more valuable cards an "oversize" cut so that the cards wont be rejected for being too small. The larger borders make for a better chance of being graded. There are also ways to may near perfect cuts with lasers. How does someone determine "fresh" cut paper from paper that has been cut many years ago? Especially on a really clean card.
