True factory rough cuts could be found on some Topps too. I once bought a childhood collection from an older gentleman who had a lot of 1954 Topps cards and many of them, untouched in 50 years, had one or more rougher edges. They graded 8s and 9s from PSA. That was even something I used to look for when shuffling through Topps products of the era.
OPCs have those great rough cuts even in the nicest cards. I haven't seen those downgraded either. The soft corners are a definite issue. I've got quite a few raw OPCs that are pack-fresh but with those rough yet soft corners.
