SGC now does it for you, though that might cost more than you are looking for here:

In my experience they wont do it, their machines are not really made to do small custom stuff.

I have had great luck with people that do photo framing. A manual matting cutter works perfect.

Trim the panels down to singles?

Or just neaten them up?

What would be the goal? Just getting them into a slab, or getting a good grade?

At risk of getting on a list.... maybe?

Yes, neating them up, getting into a slab and hopefully getting a high grade.

Cutting hand cut cards more cleanly is not frowned upon. The cards were meant to be cut after they got into collector's hands, not at the factory.

On the wiffle discs, would using a punch be ok with PSA? Or other round cards intended to be cut?

Probably, unless they are perforated and meant to be torn out. Of course if you cut them and want to add perforations, like all those Gem Mint Tiger Woods SI4Kids which might be fraudulent, the grading companies probably won't be able to tell the difference.

Nope, not adding anything. Just won't do that. (besides, whiffle discs never had perforations. )

I shared a shop with a leather worker and another guy, we just moved it to the other guys basement, but he has punches that are about the size of the discs.

I never knew they did such a thing. Any idea of the cost involved?

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried both SGC (they won't do it) and some local print shops (not really as nice as I wanted).
