Default Why authentic ?

Posted By: Al Crisafulli

I'm not the grading company, but here's what I would think:

The cards came 10 to a strip. That would mean that the 8 cards on the inside of the strip could potentially have lines on both the left and the right. The card on the left edge could only have a strip on the left, and vice-versa for the card on the right edge.

And if the card was cut with the dotted line visible on both sides, the cards to the left and the right would grade "authentic".

I guess.

Sometimes I see these graded and labeled "hand cut".

I suppose there's also a possibility that this card in question is short from top to bottom, but with hand cut cards I automatically think it's a L-R issue.

Anybody here have a strip of these? Where was Matty positioned on the strip?
