Question about grading hand cut cards.

I’ve posted about 1977 Topps Walter Payton uncut sheets. This card has a bunch of uncut sheet. It is also a notoriously hard hard to find in top condition. So if someone bought this sheet had it cut perfectly and the other flaws were not present. So the card graded a psa 10 you would be fine with this? Or only if PSA put hand cut on the flip?

I'd have no issue with it. None. Stupid grading system notwithstanding. Whatever a 9 is supposed to be that fairly meets the standard.

If someone meticulously rebuilds a 1965 Camaro, is it not a 1965 Camaro?

It depends did they use new modern parts or original?carmaro engine or Oldsmobile? As I’m sure you know cars and cards are two vastly different things. Restored cards are not the same as original.

The card is graded a 10. Maybe they have 5 more they are waiting to grade and send in.

For reasons mentioned here and in other older posts, I simply do not collect them. Let others pull their hair trying to figure it out. I agree, it just seems like too much $ for "hand cut" 8"s thru 10's - I would rather spend elsewhere. If you like them, ok, but proceed with caution.

You could consider collecting raw strip cards instead of graded? Some strips are cool....These have Decalco printed on their side. These would grade about a 1 or AUT hand cut.
Cards are close in size, the scans are off.

That would be some trick, or a very special car.

Camaros first year was 1967.
