I know PSA has a min-size requirement...what about max-size?

I have a few 1980s cards that are about 1/8 inch longer than typical. Anyone know how these are handled and if it effects the grade?

Should be good enough for an extra .25 grade..lol Sorry about that.

I have had a few older cards that were "long" for the year. No issue on grading. I was worried the other normal sized cards I submitted would get compared to them and come back min size.

Anybody else on this topic?????

I thought oversized cards usually got slabbed and put into
holders with the baggie sleeve and without the edge gasket.

According to my PSA supplied template, cards taller than 3 13/16" are considered "Tallboys". If this is the case, I would submit them separately.

I think you just need to trim them down to proper size before submitting to PSA

I submitted a 1965 Topps Juan Marichal card that was a bit wide, and they returned it as "miscut".

You are correct. Miscut is the answer.

I've had both these things happen. Once I had a 1956 Topps football card come back in a baggie in a tallboy holder!

If the cut is uneven, it will be labeled a miscut. If it is cut square but oversized, then it would likely get holdered, albeit in a larger holder with a mylar sleeve. The typical vintage miscut is where one of the sides flares out slightly at about midpoint along the border. I think it's a result of the sheet slipping during cutting. Often there is a slight crimp at the point where it flares out. Sometimes if the miscut is very slight, you can get them holdered. I had a 1956 common that came back miscut the first time I subbed it but the slip cut was very slight, so I resubbed it later and it got into a PSA 8 holder. I have no problem adding these to my collection if the miscut is slight.

Thanks to everyone for all the input.
