First of all no cards that are meant to be hand cut should carry a numerical designation.

If you insist on cutting I would use a sharp exact-o knife and straight edge. Paper cutters pull fibers and tear paper

Thanks Andrew, that is helpful. The cards I am thinking of cutting and grading do get graded numerically by PSA and they get labeled as hand cut.

If they are intended to be hand cut like Bazookas and strip cards then I don't see why not.

Wagner PSA 8. Made to be cut from the strip right? At what point does the "Hand cut" card stop being such? Trim it down to the tightest tolerances available for the highest grade and $$$ possible? If it is hand cut it should be Authentic only IMO.

Apples and oranges. T206s weren't made to be strip cards. I have no issue with a (what I consider stupid) numerical grade on strip cards. Anyone paying big money for a newly cut (or anytime cut) high grade strip card is a quandry to me. It's just crazy.

I wonder about cards that were meant to be broken apart, like the 1951 Topps Ringside boxing cards. These cards came as two card panels that could be separated. Most that get graded have had the tabs trimmed off. Does PSA tend to downgrade a card with the tabs left on versus cards that have those tabs trimmed? Here's an example of a raw card with the tabs still present on the left hand edge in case you aren't familiar with the issue.

I have gotten PSA 10's and get PSA 9's fairly regularly with a standard paper cutter.

This is the one that I have.

And actually to be more correct I meant I don't have a problem with numerical grades AS LONG AS it also says Hand Cut on the flip.
I actually do have a bit of an issue with the mostly outdated policy of only putting a number grade on hand cut strip cards flips.

Yeah I only say the card should get an A with Hand Cut designation. Its to hard to draw the line on how far is to far. Trim to the boarders or trim past them. It is to gray of an area. May be a good thread for the board to split hairs on?
