Ok so I know that PSA will give most cards a grade and just put hand cut on the label.

SGC apprently is much stricter about the size and what not. However I have seen many cards that are SGC graded and look worse then some cards that they would not give a number grade to.


What are the thoughts on how you can tell if a card was recently cut from a sheet or trimmed down.

I have some strips that have long boarders, ie there is some boarder beyond the dotted line. Should I cut these in order to get a number grade. Will SGC give cards with larger boarders grades?

Has anyone had experience with this. I only have a couple of strips graded and they didn't get a number grade because one side had a curve to the cut.

Any thoughts are welcome.

Thanks
