Default Looking for a Good (Not Evil) Card Trimmer
I have a handful of 1970's Hostess panels and a couple of Wiffle Ball Box Side Discs that I would like to trim down and submit to PSA. I have tried in the past and just don't have the required steady hand, tools, etc. to do a good enough job. Can anyone assist me or know someone who could assist? I of course would pay for reasonable time and effort. Thanks.

SGC now does it for you, though that might cost more than you are looking for here:

In my experience they wont do it, their machines are not really made to do small custom stuff.

I have had great luck with people that do photo framing. A manual matting cutter works perfect.

Trim the panels down to singles?

Or just neaten them up?

What would be the goal? Just getting them into a slab, or getting a good grade?

At risk of getting on a list.... maybe?

Yes, neating them up, getting into a slab and hopefully getting a high grade.

Cutting hand cut cards more cleanly is not frowned upon. The cards were meant to be cut after they got into collector's hands, not at the factory.

On the wiffle discs, would using a punch be ok with PSA? Or other round cards intended to be cut?

I never knew they did such a thing. Any idea of the cost involved?

Not So Long Ago... If Mr Bill would of taken this route He might of ended up bein an icon, rather than a cellmate!

We are Care Takers of these relics! Are we Not?

100 years from now Sumone will be cuttin/makin T206 Cobb Hangin Portraits out of the other less desired vintage players cards.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried both SGC (they won't do it) and some local print shops (not really as nice as I wanted).
