I tend to like them as well. Even more so knowing it doesn't affect grade. Nice cards!

I like rough cuts too...no doubt caused by factory cutting. I disagree though about a "rough cut" not affecting the grade. I notice the 7s and 8s are near flawless (except for the rough cut) what I would like to see is if anyone has an example of a 9 or 10? I would be willing to bet that a rough cut will not grade a 9 or 10 soooo yes it does affect the grade. Dave ps about 54s having no top white border....that was by design of topps. TPGs have a difficult time telling when a 54 is centered top to bottom. Much like the 54 topps hockey where with white backgrounds tpgs just don't "get" the centering on those cards.

Top border...


Left border (Not a great scan, but they don't get much more rough cut than that)...

Not trying to pile on, Dave, but here's another (although this "10" grade can easily be dsputed)...

I would crack that card out and re-submit it. The only thing I see is a fuzzy bottom left corner, but that might just be the scan.

Edited to add some of my '72 rough cuts...
