Grading of Punch Outs
I have this set and the captain poses. Most of it is ungraded, by choice. But in collecting the set I have acquired some graded cards and seen several. I have also had and seen several uncut 3 card panels. You can separate the panels by bending them until they separate or cut them.
On a 3 card panel the top and bottom card should have a straight top ot bottom border, but the middle card will have 2 uneven borders and the top and bottom one uneven border. Even if the cards are cut instead of bent to separate them you should see the perforations at at least one end, or on both ends of middle cards. Yet I have seen many highly graded cards with straight ends on the top and the bottom, which can only occur if the serated perforated edges are trimmed off
Is this a case where trimming a card from it natural state is acceptable ? I am not a graded guy so am just curious as to what folks think,,,.especially Larry S
