The most amazingly obvious trimmed card in a PSA 8 holder (not 00000001)

I am stunned. This has to be some sort of record for most obviously trimmed card in a PSA holder. BTW, the card is sheet cut, and poorly.

    Did opc ever use scissors to cut sheets before inserting them into packs? if so this grade is conceivable.

    Whoever sent that card in to be graded, doesn't know anything about grading or really had some balls thinking it would get by a grader...I think he used a paper cutter, a knife and a scissors to get a cut like that...Geezz

    Good thing this is a $20 card and not a $1000 card. I'll just laugh it off and try to get PSA to own up to its obvious mistake.

    I don't think Beckett would even grade this one.

    And I agree with treetop. Who would be stupid enough to risk $10 grading THAT card?

    The card was an afterthought in a deal I made so I didn't even see the card before it arrived in the mail.

    The top (left) of the card isn't straight either. Nice little valley in the middle.

    Yikes.

    He edited the title for some reason, it wasn't like that a few minutes ago.

    00000001 refers to the card that Tom and I were thinking about.

    Well, you do find some rough cuts when it comes to OPC...image
    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12

    Is it even worth anything graded period?

    Here's one that fills up the PSA holder pretty good.

    When you say sheet cut do you mean by the factory?
  • FrozencaribouFrozencaribou Posts: 1,094 ✭✭✭✭✭
    From the wonky dimensions of the card, I assume that it was cut from a sheet instead of trimmed from a regular production factory cut card. Two reasons-

    1) The card isn't really undersided. It is roughly the same size as a regular card. You can't really cut an angle like the one on the top edge from a regular sized card. Given the other normal-ish border dimensions of the card, it would have taken a much larger top edge than any regular sized card to be able to cut into it at such an upward slope.

    2) For some reason there are more 1974 OPC sheets in circulation than other years. Seems like 1974 OPC sheet cut cards are more prevelent.

    I will update this thread when I receive a response from PSA on their position regarding this item.
