1954 Aaron

rpcoletrane

I have this 54 Aaron RC that has a strange taper to the lower right edge. I know the history of this card, and I know that it has not been trimmed. I researched and found one with the exact same taper in the exact same place PSA holdered. So I ask, what would cause this taper and what do you think mine would grade if sent to PSA? The lines on the card are print lines.

I would say that the same thing that causes miscuts when you try to cut multiple sheets of paper with a pair of scissors might cause the miscut on cards as well. The closer you are to the top of the stack, the straighter, more accurate the cut. That would be my guess anyway.

Thanks Chris, anyone else care to comment?

That Aaron might be fine and legit, but I don't like that kind of tapered cut to the right bottom edge. It's looks trimmed even though it might not be. I would never want to own that card myself.

But to each it's own.

Along those same lines, you often see cards that have a winged out edge with too much cardboard, so it might be from a badly cut sheet. I'm seen many '65 Topps Baseball cards with this type of cut. For every undersized cut card there's an oversized card.

Any other opinions on the taper and grade? After I join PSA, what would it cost me to get this card graded at like a 15 day level?

Look at the fee schedule on this website since you are already here.

I boght 4 sgc grade 86's with the same cut on the lower right. It is very common for the issue. PSA graded them eventually but they were sent back as miscut a few times. I still have 1 left I will try to scan that hasn't been graded yet.

Please do, I would really like to see it!

It all depends on what type of value you put on the card. Anything over $500 has a minimum service level of 5 business days at $30 per card. $1,000 to $2,499 has a minimum service level of 2 business days at $55 per card.

Won't you get an MC qualifier with the top border missing??
