Slabbing Cards From Uncut Sheets

[Archive]

Posted By: Corey R. Shanus

Suppose you have a full production run (i.e., with full colors and backs) uncut sheet. Is it possible to cut cards from the sheet and have them slabbed? I pose this question not in contemplation of cutting up a sheet but solely for the purpose of valuing it. It would seem to me that if you have a pristine sheet with technically unblemished cards and it were possible to cut the sheet and have the cards graded as if they had been cut at the time of original issue, then the value of the sheet should be at least comparable to the break value of the unblemished cards. For example, as we know, there are uncut '33 Goudey sheets in circulation. Suppose in one of those sheets the cards appear essentially perfect (SGC 96/PSA 9). And suppose the value of the cards slabbed as such total X. Does it follow then that the sheet should be worth at least that much, or should the sheet instead be valued on an entirely different basis?

All thoughts would be welcome.
