OT: 1954 Topps uncut sheet
In auction. Beautiful item. I would HATE to think someone will buy these to cut them up and slab them. Wait and see, I guess. I seem to recall past controversy about one of the grading services slabbing sheet-cut 1957 Mantles.

I apologize if this is a dumb question but how can one tell if a card is sheet cut versus cut at what would be the factory in this case? Especially if you got a professional to do it? I've always wondered about this.

Scott, people who trim cards for a living could probably speak to that.

Aww, now you're just hating on the hobby again. Can't you give us a positive thread to lead us into National week, Pete?

I had the opportunity to view and write that uncut sheet, it is truly a sight to behold. Was in that DC area collectors hands for the better part of forty years.

Very tempting for someone to cut & get a perfect Ben Wade, (top left corner) one of the very toughest cards to find in the whole set in high grade.

Alan, I am no expert but I believe the factory cuts are distinctive enough so that a grading service should be able to distinguish factory cut from sheet cut. That said, I think there is a strong possibility this sheet will be purchased by prominent card doctors and the cut cards will find their way into slabs. Draw your own conclusions as to how this might happen. I sure hope I am wrong, but given that everything in the hobby is secret there is no way to know.
