Default Question About "Hand Cut" Cards

I have some cards that are hand cut, but I want to cut them a bit nicer before submitting them for grading. What's the best method? Just a pair of scissors, an X-Acto knife, or razor blade, maybe? Anyone have a preferred method before I try something I may regret?

A matting cutter at a place that frames pictures is by far the best thing to use. A guillotine style paper cutter also works pretty good and is easy to find.

Just make sure it's sharpened!

I've always gotten the best results with a simple new #11 blade xacto and a metal straightedge. Good luck!

High quality guillotine cutter - I've thought about the mat cutter - but never tried it.
