How does PSA grade Action Packed Emmitt Smith cards?

How does PSA grade odd cut/shaped cards like the 1992 Action Packed football cards? I have a few that I want to send in, but the way the cards were made, the left edge isn't always equal and some have a slight bow around the corners. Also, the gold leafing on the left edge isn't perfect as the card has been folded over when they were made. Here are some Emmitt Smith Prototypes I want to send in, but looking through my 10x magnifying glass, I can't see any of them being "gem mint", but most are very close.

    The left gold edge should be nice and straight. Sometimes it has a waviness to it they really deduct for. The corner fold thingy is accepted being that the cards were made that way. The lettering should be perfect but I have seen some the grader missed. Just pick the ones witht he best eye appeal and you should be good. Also the gold edge should be scratch free.

    Now the important thing. I need one for my set so if you get a few graded, I would like to buy one image

    Thanks
  • Thanks lawnmowerman. I'm sending in a bunch of Action Packed Cowboy cards on my next submission. I'll let you know how I did and give you one of my Emmitt's.
