I measured every one of these cards. A couple of them where noticeably longer then normal, but none of them measured short.
I supplied large scans for your opinions. Is this just a case of pop report politics? I appreciate your help.

that sucks... I'm sorry this happened to you.

The cards look nice did you open them from packs?

I sure would be upset! the Randy White and Jack Lambert Rc's look real good....

resubmit sir, you got 2 more chances to get it right.

there's always sgc too, not too shabby of a grading company i've heard.

could they be sheet cut?

<< <i>could they be sheet cut? >>



that was my first reaction.

Did you notice all the top side tilts?

Hard to say, although I bet Allen has an idea.

I agree possibly sheet cut, also I believe it's possible that the graders can see the difference between card edges cut at the factory and cut later with a razor blade or whatever. The edges on these look like some sheet cut cards I've seen.

Also not all trimmed cards are oversized.


If you got them yourself from a pack, maybe try resubmitting. If you bought them as nm/mt you're probably stuck with them.

I am sorry but I agree with PSA. Those cards look funky. You can really tell if they are trimmed by looking at the t/b "grain" and comparing it to a 1976 PSA 6 ( after cracking it out). chaz

It's really hard to tell anything from a scan, but the left edge on the Randy White looks beveled.
