    Nope. Brett folks are smarter . Only a fool would pay $600 for a 86 topps card just to say I have a 1 of 1. But the shilling will continue I will leave it at that. It's so obvious

    Yeah, but how much will they pay for a real tough O-Pee-Chee ?

    I am confused. PSA will not grade sheet cut cards, but will grade these? What's the difference?

    It takes a lot more skill to cut a box bottom, so they acknowledge that and say "slab 'em!".

    The card has to be cut from the bottom of the box to become a single. A card that comes from a sheet is found in packs.

    From my understanding is that PSA wont grade cards cut from sheets that appear in regular wax boxes. However, cards such as this 1986 George Brett, which was cut from box bottoms, are allowable as that was the only form they came in. It's a fair line to be drawn on PSA's part, IMO.

    To me it also prevents an abundance of PSA 10's if lots of uncut sheets are out there that could be cut into perfect copies and potentially get hundreds of 10's, killing the appeal, and ultimately the card business.

    This is the distinction and the reason why PSA grades them. OTOH, there are no unopened packs with box bottom singles in them.
