81 topps scratch off (and squirt) questions

ldferg

do you grade the panels or perforate them? how are grades affected if some of the scratch-offs are removed from cards above them in the pack?


thanks for the input.

They grade both the perforated singles and the entire panels. Not sure the impact on second part of your question. My experience is it is tough to get a good grade with these as they are hard to find centered and the black dots are not always complete.

I've graded them both ways. The are very hard to get centered. As for the black dots, I don't think you get penalized. There seemed to be a lot of scratches on the cards during manufacturing, as some panels had the same exact scratches on the same cards in the boxes I broke recently.

I have tons of extras if you are looking for any in particular.

I am interested in a PSA graded panel with Ozzie Smith. Please PM me with any offers.

DD: I'm always looking for well-centered Schmidts without gum stains on the back if you have any.
