Question concerning 1970 Topps Super Proof

But why? These are not the only cards cut from sheets and a lot others get grades. This card was not cut from a cereal box, Topps cut these cards.

Topps may or may not have cut them. I have several full uncut Topps proof sheets and know people in the hobby who are very good at cutting such sheets into individual cards. But the hand cutting may not be the key. Do an eBay search for Topps proofs and then narrow it to graded auctions and see if you find proof cards that PSA has graded numerically. I know you will find them with numerical grades from other grading companies

Another option is to take your question to PSA by posting your question on their Collector's Universe board

I have the '71 Joe Torre, and I also wondered why they did that.
But not enough apparently to ask anyone. If you find out, I would love to know the answer.

Update I found two 1971 Square corner proof graded 88 and 80 by SGC, but still no grades for the 1970 batch.
