Ya, this was pretty standard with Menko cards. A lot of them have "lucky" stamps on back that you could exchange for the sheets. The higher the stamp number, the larger the sheet. PSA grades them numeric, but they designate them all as hand-cut because there's no way to know if they were cut by the manufacturer or if they were cut later by a collector. SGC no longer designates them as hand-cut though.
