Hockey set! Always looking to buy, trade or upgrade 1966 Topps to 1969 OPC.
It is IMPOSSIBLE for these to cross into PSA holders.
They will come back as evidence of trimming from PSA.
I'm so happy that PSA has kept to this policy of not
grading cut sheets. Although some have slipped through
the cracks, (i.e. 1974 OPC Bobby Orr 1/2). They usually
catch most of them. So the word IMPOSSIBLE may be too strong
and not accurate. I guess some guys will still try to sneak some through.

Marc -
Never say impossible. All major grading companies have let sheet cut cards through at one time or another. Beckett doesn't care, as long as it measures properly. PSA and SGC make a policy of not grading sheet-cut cards - but it certainly does happen. The tell-tale signs are much easier to identify with OPC cards, for example - and probably less so with something like 1982 Fleer...

<< <i>the card looked perfect and had zero carmel stains, which is kind of rare. >>
given today's cleaning techniques and if you hadnt noticed the recent
cracker jacks @ auction i'ld say it's kind of rare to have a normal somewhat
caramel bordered cracker jack!.
Is there a legitimate way that you could take an uncut sheet. Have it cut, and then graded by PSA?
Or are you simply stuck with an uncut sheet?

Well, theoretically - if you had the same type of cutting equipment that was used by Topps/OPC/Fleer whoever, at the time the sheet was produced - how could anyone tell the difference?
For example - on the 1970s OPC cards, though - that was a very old, unsophisticated way of cutting that likely could not be easily reproduced today. Maybe if you had the sheet and tried to cut it with a spoon. But the whole issue is taking a sheet from 20-30 or however many years ago - and then cutting it today with better technology, better attention, etc. than was ever paid at the time of production.

<< <i>MS is right in theory. If you can get the same cutting techniques you might be able to get away with it, but you would have to hold on to the card for a while before submitting it. A fresh cut will give eveidence on close inspection. As for how PSA spots them, they look at the how strong the cut is. If it has a perfect extremely razor sharp cut, they will probably mark it trimmed. Take almost any PSA 10 card and magnify the corners, then take a Beckett 9.5 and compare the corner. The PSA 10 corners will almost never be as sharp as the Beckett. They also look at the edges and how hard the cut it, other thatn the freshly cut evidence that will show up. >>
Also - Topps factory direct dealers from back int he day probably have examples that could possibly have razor corners - and not really have ever been put inside a vending box, rack case, wax pack, etc.
