    Yes...oh wait, there was more to your question?
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    No trimming is allowed on exhibits. There are a lot out there that have been trimmed but they will be rejected by psa and/or sgc.

    hand cut cards are allowed but if there is a border you better cut outside the border.

    trimmed cards can be slabbed as authentic, I think you have to request on the order form and it should be an important card, not a 91 fleer common.

    Here's a hand cut card they graded recently

    I think technically, any card that is not issued on a box or carton (or some other media that the only way to retrieve the card would be to cut it out), are not allowed to be trimmed to receive a grade. Exhibits were not required to be cut out of anything, so no go on them being trimmed.

    Oakesy 'Exhibit' cards and Post cereal cards are 2 different things.

    With that said the answer is NO to Exhibits, YES to Post cereal cards.

    The Post/Jello whatever cards need to have the dotted line showing in order to get a numerical
    grade. Nam just had some 'Hostess' cards graded and he cut them from the boxes.

    I would assume that PSA would holder certain 'Exhibits' those from the 30's of such players
    as Ruth and the like, but only as authentic. (if they were indeed trimmed that is)

    Good for you.
