What Are The Chances This Is Even Possible?
 
Posted By: <b>Addie_Joss</b><p>This guy on eBay is telling me he somehow was able to find an original and authentic uncut sheet of E-90-1 American Caramels and cut the cards he's selling from the sheet. I asked him to tell me how and where he was able to locate an original uncut sheet and he wouldn't. Is this even possible? He keeps saying it'll grade authentic but somehow I highly doubt that. He has no negative feedback and guarantees double the money back if the card is found to not be authentic. What is the likelyhood that such an uncut sheet existed today and that someone would be dumb enough to cut the sheet?

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>Obviously, this would be unlikely. A sheet cut card technically grades the same as a trimmed card, so it should be priced the same. If you're pricing the card as trimmed, the story is neither here nor there. If you're placing a premium because you think 'sheet cut' is special, that would probably be unwise. The only way I might consider 'sheet cut' a step above trimmed is if it's extra large.<br /><br />An uncut sheet would be worth a small fortune. Just think what a 2 card panel would sell for at auction. Net54ers would be slipping in their own drool. The only way someone would cut apart a large sheet in recent years is if he thought he could fool PSA or SGC into giving them 9, 10s or such. If the cards are lower grade, with creases and stains, someone would have to be insane, or really dumb, to cut down a sheet that might be worth, say, $200,000 intact.<br /><br />In short and as I already said, if you're pricing the card as trimmed, the veracity of the story doesn't matter. If you're pricing the cards as sheet cut and you think sheet cut as worth a lot more than trimmed, then the veracity of the story matters a lot. <br /><br />To the seller's credit, he has disclosed that the card would only get an authentic grade by the grader due to the modern cut.
