Post Cereal Grading
This is a subject that has caused much consternation with Post Cereal and Jell-O collectors that I know. Most of the cards can have a complete black border if they are carefully cut from the boxes. However.....on some sheets they share borders and it presents a number of problems when grading. So, for one the grader would need to know what box the card is from and whether or not it had a shared border. Dan Mabey has written a set of terrific books on all of the Post Cereal baseball sets and has pointed out some of these points for grading purposes. I don't believe that PSA or any of the graders are as knowledgeable.
I have posted three cards that are cut outside the black borders. Anyone care to guess what the grades would be?
