Nice pickup!

Having gone through likely a 1000+ of both the 70 and 71 Fleer WS cards over the years to build my two sets, I came across many higher and lower grade cards from both issues that were either long in one or both directions, the correct size, or finally short in one or both directions. I went through so many cards from each set to find examples that measured up , so that my sets would have properly sized cards.


The fact that both higher and lower grade examples had the varying sizes indicates to me that Fleer had some QC issues with their cutting during this time frame, and possibly into the later 70's when the last 7 cards were issued as discussed in the article. Is it possible that PSA realizes that these varying sizes are due to QC issues (versus trimming) and takes this into account when grading these Fleer WS cards?

I think OPC in the late 60s and early 70s might have had better QC than Fleer.
