What a pleasant coincidence, and pretty cool that it managed to get a number grade.

But the issue is that they don't have a trimmed variety that could get a number grade, so hand cut is better!

But isn't it nice that while they were able to read the title of the Standard Catalog listing, and use it for the label, they evidently missed the entire description.

It's certainly better for the opinion seller's bottom line if people are aware that trimming, cough, I mean hand cutting something can make it available for a paid opinion.

My favorite hand cut card is this one...
