1976 Topps Question

Best get rid of the bothersome ones for those that are straighter.

You'll sleep better.

The card has tilt, and is also tilted in the holder. I'm not seeing anything I would consider miscut.

Going on my method of holding a straightedge up to the screen (way easier now the screens are all flat... ) The cuts have a slight curve to them.

That does happen and can be from a couple different things.

I collected those back in the day and I do remember cards every now and then having a slight bulge to them. It was irritating then as well. So, yes. That was a thing when they were released.

Truthfully, I don't really see that as a set that someone would go to all the trouble to trim a bunch of them.

That was my logic as well - I was like, would someone actually cut like 700 of these? lol

The only other thought I had was that they were from a sheet and the person cut them, but a majority of them are the same size give or take a MM here and there in either direction.

Thank you everyone for the information - it's stuff like this that makes me love the hobby even more - the idiosyncrasies of each set.

I bought a hand collated one from a vendor case back in 1976...and many were like this also... George Brett card esp... you can never seem to find a good one.
