To me diamond cut means the cardboard isn't square I've see some pretty amazing rhomboid shapes over the years.

A card that is all right angles with a tilted image I call, well, tilted image.

This is my understanding too. The word cut in there indicates an issue with the cut not the image placement. The Bench card displayed looks like an issue with the cut whereas the Jones looks tilted. I see diamond cuts graded as long as they still fit in the holder. Hard to know what the penalty is as it isn't something I've ever seem mentioned in TPG guidelines.

This one has been a "placeholder" in an EXMT Set for a while now. Just can't seem to find the perfect center example that I want. Doesn't bother me all that much - but enough to want to replace it. So I think if this one graded out then you should have no problems with your example.

Default 1985 Topps

I think my whole 1985 Topps set is diamond cut. Cutting machine quality control was an afterthought that year, it seems. Too bad, because it is one of the best-looking sets Topps has made otherwise.

From my New Directory of Collectorisms thread...

293. Carat-Top
A card with a discernible diamond cut.

See also: Rotato - a card that is a true rectangle, but the photo on it is tilted.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

As always, thanks for the helpful information… I think I’ll submit old Johnny to SGC to see what we get.

Anyone want to venture to guess the grade? Here he is again, just for sport:
