How to Price SGC/PSA "A" Hand-Cut Strip Cards?

[drc]

If it was a strip card that was supposed to be hand cut, has good borders and the grader only gives A to handcut issues, then your SGC 60 equation is a fair estimation for that handcut issue. Obviously at resale, it's going to matter whether the bidders agree with your grading.

If it is a factory cut issue that was trimmed (ala T206 or 1970 Topps), then it's a different stuation. For a standard factory cut issue, a card in an Authentic holder usually means there's something wrong with it-- alteration, trimming, coloring. Thus, despite whatever stellar appearance, it's best to price it as if there's something wrong with it. Exceptions are some rare and obscure cards where the graders give it an A as they've never graded the issue before and don't know how to grade it.
