Should I cut these out, or submit them as is?

mmync

I have a stack of these that I want to send in. Would they be worth more if I left them as a whole unfolded box our should I cut the 3 card panel out?

Very Cool!

I doubt PSA would let you send them all in uncut from the box. Take them to a framing shop and have them trim them out for you. They should do it perfectly. Any chance a Colavito is amongst your stack?

Thanks,
Jeff

No, I am sorry. I got the Tom Seaver-Pete Rose- Rod Carew ones.

are the King Dons smooshed inside the flat boxes?

No, after 30 some years they just kind decomposed and withered away.

Didn't someone not too long ago show a scan of this panel in a PSA10?

I remember the previous thread on this but couldn't find it. The answer was that PSA will not slab the entire panel but the will grade the hand cut cards. There are quite a few 10's already which to me is kinda odd. How can you grade a card a PSA 10 that you know is cut? IMO that is the true definition of altered. On the other hand, I believe GAI will grade the whole panel but I wouldn't risk sending them a wooden nickle to grade right now.

PSA will grade cut cards that could not be ascertained any other way (ie. pack form).

OK, here's a stupid question. Would you cut on the broken line so you can't see it, or just outside of it so you can? I'd love to see a psa 10 to see how they did it.

Linky thing still gets me. PSA 9 cut outside the lines.

Here is a scan posted recently from another member on a different thread.

that's what she said.

PSA does grade the entire three-card panels; and in order to get a high grade, all of the borders (dashed line) around the cards must be completely visible. PSA won't grade the entire boxes, since they're far too big for their largest holders.
