Question about grading hand cut cards.

[Leon]

We are talking strip cards not others.
I don't think I am seeing it quite like that. Sure, cards cut by a machine all good.

Cut by a kid 100 yrs ago is hand cut.
Cut by a kid a few hours ago is hand cut.
Who cares if they get graded with the caveat hand cut, I don't? Grading strip cards is fine with that transparency.

Defrauding someone by altering a card (trimming or otherwise) and not mentioning it, not good.

I know this is a classic debate, rehashed many, many, many times. Too many threads to mention. And I still don't get it. Cards doctored to death, but cutting a strip card along a dotted line is somehow disqualifying.
of a grade to many eyes.
