    Where did those "sawcut" cards come from? I've never heard of those, and if they did it try to cover up the F-face, their aim sure was a little off, wasn't it?

    Heres a article on them. Cut was to mark the card to have graders pull but some slipped by. yeah. Cut varies in length and placement. They had the maintanence man cut the pallets of uncut sheets. From what I hear alot were backdoored. I know one guy who was buying them from a lady who snuck them out in her bra. I have 2 different saw cut versions on top of racks. I love 'em!!

    Why did they cut a card that didnt have the obscenity? They saw cut the FF,White Scribble,4 Black Scribble versions and another version that Im unsure if its real or not. I can only guess they cut the other versions to replace them with the BBox when they started printing full sheets. Maybe all the different versions made them look sloppy?? Either that or they wanted to add hype.

    Orgin- I bought a large lot of these along with other FF versions. I bought them as I needed the lite loop saw and wanted to upgrade my F showing saw but now I find out GAI only authenticates them (no number grade anymore) How can they authenticate these you ask? Well, ??? I can only tell if they are saw cut vs. exacto.

    If anyone wants a slabbed one LMK as Im sending some in soon.

    Top right-more defined - in the F. shorter F

    bottom left-missing most of - on f and its longer. I'll try to find a clearer comparison.

    I think I have the bottom row middle card which is "black box - left side rounded". How rare is that of the versions?

    One is loop one is F showing. Loop is longer and lighter - on the F.

    That one is the most common of the Black Box versions. In factory sets (at least in the one I opened) and that one was the one they printed full sheets of.
