I always wonder what PSA and SGC guidelines are when it come's to non factory cut cards. I've seen and own W512 strip cards that grade both ways and wonder who makes the decision on the grade being numerical or just authentic. Same thing for 1952 Wheaties that I collect. All hand cut but I have many PSA 8's. Then theres the 1984 Topps Nestle Sheets. Always numerically graded. I guess if a card was only issued in sheet form, a numerical grade is allowed but W512 grades, I will never understand. As far as the Plank, I feel SGC saw no evidence of trimming and since all Piedmont backed Planks being trimmed is just a theory (one that I believe), the card received the numerical grade. I guess the bottom line is, if you had the chance to own the card at no cost to you, would the grade on the holder even matter? Numerical grade or not, it's a really nice card.
