Hand cut cards should only be given an "Auth" grade. Let eye appeal of the buyer determine the price. Same with cards that have a coupon removed (Zeenuts, for example). Those should be given an AUTH label if the coupon has been removed.
Someone can still cut the edges of a hand cut card tomorrow so that the card has razor sharp corners. Also, you could pop a hand cut card with huge borders from a slab, recut the card and make it have greater eye appeal and a higher grade.
TPG companies have no clue....
