It appears that Beckett has on occasion chosen to grade older cards recently cut from sheets (we're talking like older Topps, not Hostess Twinkies). For some collectors of high grade cards in certain genres (not Pre-War baseball), this has not been endearing .... Duly note that I heard this in part from a well known dealer who openly said he had Beckett grade cards he cut from sheets and he first asked them if they would. Apparently, the dealer himself was not being sneaky, in that he told Beckett he was sending in cards cut from sheets. He also was open to the buying public, publicly detailing where the sheets were found. Heck, I even bought fair to poor grade multi-card panels he advertised as being cut from uncut sheets.
