When is a rough cut too rough?

I pulled this from my 78 OPC pack from the recent group break. I know rough cuts are expected on OPC, but this is the worst I’ve seen...how would this affect PSA grading?

I think it looks fantastic. Rough cuts used to look bad to me but now I really like them. Being that it's par for the course on opc cards, I can't imagine it affecting the grade at all.

Rough cuts like that on 78 OPC baseball are common and do not impact the grade on their own.

Frankly, you want to see rough cuts on 78 OPC as that means the cards were pulled from a pack vs sheet cut.

This is a very rough-cut card, but I think it's gorgeous. PSA thought so too.

Nice pull. I personally like the look of a rough cut.

I think so too. I never get tired of seeing this card garveyfan. I actually have the Topps version of this card, from my childhood collection. It has a crease running down the center of the card, from top to bottom. I think it happened from me bringing it to school in my pocket, for show and tell haha

That’s a Great Garvey card...thanks for showing it!
My hope is to get Schmidt to sign my card then get it graded for my set.

Very nice card. I too am a fan of rough cuts and don't mind them at all.
