Poppage and a quick question

I deleted a couple lines. My question relates to the Briggs Meats card - does anyone have any information on this issue? I wasn't expecting a numeric grade, nor did I think they were given. Is there any added value to it?

Also, I guess they don't like assigning 10's to these Wheaties cards.

    Out of 78 graded, only 7 have a numeric grade: Briggs-Meats

    Great grades on the Wheaties! Did you cut them yourself or outsource? If interested in parting with the Snead, let me know.

    ETA: Only one card graded higher in the entire Briggs set, a PSA 5 Bauer. Given overall scarcity of cards, I'm not sure how much of a premium there would be, but I would say at least some.

    I cut them myself. I have gotten pretty good at it over the years, but have never gotten a 10 on a hand cut card (granted, I have never submitted a hand cut card later than 1962).

    Interesting stuff on the Briggs, I didn't even realize it was a hand cut card also. I'll have to take a look at it when it comes in. The highest pop for the entire set seems to be a PSA 5.
