Thoughts of SGC sheet cut cards

[drcy]

Whether or not grading sheet cut cards is acceptable, graders shouldn't be in the restoration (or however you wish to refer to it) business. But that's just my opinion.

if they are limiting it to cards that were never issued except as sheets, it isn't a bad idea because it won't fool anyone. It does present a giant conflict of interest, though, since the condition of the card would be the result of an SGC sponsored effort. How could SGC cut down a strip card and award it a lesser grade?

If they do it for any cards in sheet form and achieve a result as good as the factory cut, as they brag they will, well, that's trouble. It will be all of 30 seconds before someone busts out a cut card from SGC's lame-ass holder and sends it to PSA. And we all know that PSA sometimes grades sheet cut cards.

I had forgotten what a nice job of trimming Bill Maestro performed on Honus.

Grading threads always make me chuckle.

The people who get paid for their opinions don't give a shit about you, or your hobby, all they care about is their bottom line.
