The slippery slope of cluelessness here.
" For example, PSA will not grade a 1979 O-Pee-Chee Wayne Gretzky card cut from a sheet because that card was issued in non-sheet form. On the other hand, PSA will grade a 1959 Bazooka or 1961 Post Cereal Mickey Mantle because those cards could only be obtained in one fashion - removed by hand from a box or panel."
soooo.......Cards from the 1970's team photo card sheets can be graded because they were issued that way? And the Topps cards from Dynamite magazine? And 1983 Topps which were issued in uncut sheets? And all those popcorn discs that came as discs in the package but could be ordered as a set which came as an uncut sheet?
How about George C Millers that were cancelled by removing the bottom of the card which contained the offer. They were essentially treated as tabs by the issuing company, so they should be gradeable right?
And they end by saying that if there's more original tab than looks nice it should be removed to get a higher grade!
What's next? A trimmed card grading service.
1 really sloppy job
2 slightly sloppy job
3 looks good from a few feet but the edge is wavy
4 straight edge, but it's still easy to tell.
5 great job! it almost got by us.
Better ones of course will get an 8, 9 or 10
