OT: 1954 Topps uncut sheet

[HRBAKER]

It would be interesting to know how many (what %) of the 9/10 collecting crowd would really care whether their 9/10 was a result of a sheet cut or not.

Or a lilttle microtrim for that matter.

If I were collecting 9's 10's, I'd examine every card I own and learn as much about factory cuts that I could.

People trim cards for a living? Is it really that easy to get PSA/SGC to put a number grade on a trimmed card? This sheet is believed to be unique, if it disappears for good we'll know what happened. I personally would like that sheet hanging on my wall. I really can't imagine why someone would cut it.

You know you could cut up that sheet and end up with 100 cards graded Authentic.

I highly doubt that outcome. The Pop Report for double digit grades is certain to rise.

Shown here are 3 of my uncut sheets. I have many more......1933 Goudey, Leaf, many more Bowman's (1948-1954), 1959 Fleer, and
1967-1975 Topps. Some of them are in near mint condition.
But, the last thing I would ever do is have these sheets professionally cut down into individual cards....just to have the cards graded.

I really do not understand this discussion, regarding this 1954 Topps sheet. Trust me, it would be a really stupid decision to cut it up.
Uncut sheets have always been in great demand; and, will usually be worth more than the total value of the individual cards on them.

Nice sheets you have.

I hate to play gotcha but the 54 sheet that we are discussing would have to sell for many multiples of where it is now to NOT be worth cutting up. Aaron in MINT condition is at least 12K, Williams in MINT condition is at least 7K, Kaline in MINT condition is at least 4K. Commons in the same grade are at least $400 each for the high pop examples and any of the other stars will at least will bring $1K with some bringing much more, in MINT condition. And that says nothing about any of these cards coming back GEM MINT. The winner knows these cards will do best if they can find their way into PSA holders however SGC holders will do just fine.
