I would like some comments on this grade. I have absolutely nothing to do with this auction. I am perplexed on the grade...and understand these were handcut....but c'mon....Does this make sense? Not sure what to think....I like Bob's 10 better....

If that's a 70, then I have a few hundred cards that I need to resubmit to SGC. Who in their right mind would grade that a 70 ? No further comment is necessary. Ubsurd....

Leon,

Im not sure, but I believe that the top border is commonly found like that with this particular issue. I recall a recent auction (mastro, I believe) that had a complete or near complete set all cut this way.

Leon, go get your eyes checked!!!

I don't get it... I thought that trimmed cards only received an AUTH label unless it's a Zeenut or strip card. Perhaps the submitter sent it in on the third Friday of an even month when Venus and Mars were aligned with the second moon of Pluto.

I still think that any card that has been trimmed (and this includes ZEENUTS with trimmed off coupons) should not receive a numerical grade. An AUTH designation for such card pretty much sums things up. The person looking at an AUTH card can decide if they think it'd be a 60, 84 or 40 if it were not trimmed.

They need to be more consistent in their policies. If they grade cards that had coupons and now don't, then it needs to be across the board. They won't grade a Fleischmann's D381 without coupon but will a Zeenut without coupon (from a year that was supposed to have one). They won't give a numerical grade to many handcut cards but did this one? I said in my first post that I know these were handcut and came that way....but why the 70, when many others won't numerically grade, that have the same issue? (love the inuendo's about me getting lambasted recently over the corner of the T222 )....I love the wit on the board (sometimes)....
