Rough cuts are not downgraded on regular topps cards either. This statement is not accurate. You may pass on them but it’s not downgraded by either PSA or sgc. In fact I wouldn’t buy most opc issues with a smooth cut as they would be non factory cuts in most cases. A grader must take into account how a card was produced. It is why a post cereal card can be hand cut and still get. A numerical grade but a topps regular issue card can not be.
