George, your showing your scarce 1960 Darigold Farms card reminds me that these cards with the superfluous tab still attached are even scarcer.

Shouldn't the Darigold Farms cards without the tab be graded as "handcut" or "without tab"? How do the graders decide what sets to add these designations to? Or are they just ignorant of the Darigold Farms tabs and unable to detect a handcut edge?

Very cool, Val. Is that Hondo's earliest card? I believe PSA has also graded a Frank Howard, but I don't know whether the tab is still attached. My guess would be that PSA graded my card without realizing tabs were possible, but since there is nothing on the tab, I could also see them grading it without a tab as though it were a strip card. I'll leave the argument regarding how strip cards should be graded and labeled to others. I'm agnostic regarding the importance/necessity of noting "hand cut" on cards that were made to be hand cut.

If I've shown this before, I apologize. When you show something this rare that you cut off the box yourself back in the day, it makes you feel pretty good. Of course we didn't think value back then, just another card for the collection.
