I always believed the same but Samosa explained it in the Hockey thread. The machine was actually called a slitter machine, I believe?
This was discussed in this podcast that he also posted. In OPC's haste to get cards to market to keep up with demand, the blades weren't always sharpened as often as they should have been.
I don't remember where this is talked about in this long video/podcast but it is and pics of it are also shown.
