Question about '84 Topps Nestle

purelyPSA

I know these can be found in uncut form, and back in the day, a dealer had the sheets broken down, but were they all originally issued as such? PSA grades them but I'd hate to have them both ways, and have it be up to me to tell whether they were cut at Topps or after the fact. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

As far as I know, I believe PSA stopped grading these a while back because of the fact that they weren't cut from the factory.

Here are some old threads:

2nd post saying PSA doesn't grade them anymore

I have one 84 Gwynn in a PSA 9 holder that I'll probably keep for a while because of this fact.

I'm wondering if they'll grade them now because they grade Post Cereals, Bazookas, and other non-factory cut cards. Maybe I'll email.

Let us know what you find out. I'd be curious to see if I can get more Gwynns.

I asked this exact question at the Tri-Star SF show a couple weeks ago (I was dropping off a registry special batch), and was told they still wouldn't grade the '84 Nestle cards (I have a sweet Rose that's dying to be a 10 ). I even asked if I could just submit it for authentication (a la the '52 trimmed Mantle from another thread), and was also told PSA wouldn't do that. The PSA rep was very nice about it, and even double-checked with another rep to make sure ...

Before Peter Ma was cut from PSA's staff, he told me that PSA would not be grading these, after some discussions that went all the way up to the top.

I have the three Schmidt cards from that set in PSA 10 or PSA 9 holders, but they are all very old at this point. Since PSA grades other hand cut issues, I don't understand why these can't be labeled as "1984 Topps Nestle - hand cut", as long as they measure correctly.
