I have several Swedish Record Journal cards and I do want to cut the Muhammad Ali one (with Kjell Jarlenius, too) and send it to PSA -- but I'm curious what equipment would you recommend? I have other SRJ cards that I could practice on, too ~

Should I simply cut it with a slide/guillotine (not sure which make) and then use a metal ruler and an X-Acto knife with the sides?

All comments are welcomed.

    Metal ruler and xacto knife. Use the Zirconium blades.

    Looks like there might be a crease to the right of clays name in th white. And also on the other side of his name. And next to his right side. If so I would honestly keep it whole.
    Cut if it is high grade. But if a crease I think the entire thing would be better to have.

    Hey thanks :3

    I have to check but don't think it's a large crease ~

    Cool.
    Just letting you know as it looks like a few creases in the main card. Most likely would grade a 2-3 even if perfectly cut. Me personally would rather have the full mag vs a Psa 2-3 example. Awesome item

    Whoops you're right there's a crease, plus one across Ali's head eeeek :O I see, but I totally may cut it just to save the hassle of keeping it as it is ~

    Sounds good.
    PSA 2-3s are like 250ish
    Plus grading shipping and other tools to cut it.
    Are you selling it or just wanting to cut and grade something?
    Keep it whole please
