Yes. I've subbed others from this issue as panel for supersize holder (check the pop report) and it is graded just like they would do for '80's box bottom 4-card panels for example.
Is that really "hand cut" or do they use a cutting tool to get the clean cut? I know my hand would hack that card.
You'll have to trim down the four sides of the 4-card panel in order to get it to fit into a supersize holder. The full sheet is too big and would otherwise need to go in the new jumbo ones. Cutting it around the 4 sides is pretty much exactly what you'd do with a wax box bottom panel. Include the black and red World Boxing Cards stripe at the top instead of cutting it off. It contains the panel number (=card number), as the panels are numbered differently from the individual card numbers. If you lop the top and only sub the 4 without it, I'm pretty certain you'd just get 'Authentic' instead of a numeric grade.
'Hand cut' in PSA terminology encompasses everything from scissors, to exacto w/ruler, to guillotine/paper cutters, to professional Dahle rolling trimmers. I've known of success with all except scissors for high grade cuts.
ETA: It just means it wasn't issued in cut form from the manufacturer.
Oh, and be sure to leave an even amount of exposed white all the way around the panel, just like in your posted single Manny example.
Did you trim it down any? I tried to check the pop report but I didn't see it. I may have searched if incorrectly though. Have a pic of the panel graded by chance ? Thanks
Just saw your other reply. Better to grade as a panel or single? I was thinking panel to keep it whole but if I cut it anyway then maybe give ahead and do the single?
This set was issued 4 per month from 1996-1999, and I am almost certain is a total of 180 cards (though I could have missed a couple panels?). Might be off a little on this, but I think it goes something like Panel #1-11 are 1996; #12-23 are 1997; #24-35 are 1998; and, #36-45 are 1999. What month is your complete magazine in the OP issued? I just don't know for sure if there are any panels beyond #45. The individual cards as well as the 4-card panels are in the PSA data files by year, not as a 4-year set, so the year on the card or panel will vary. Your panel in this case would be labeled 1999. The one I have in a slab is from 1998. I own just about all of them in raw form but haven't subbed them all yet due to still trying to justify the cost of the supersize holder, so I'll wait for a special on that holder size.
I have it checklisted here. 180 cards, 45 panels.
