Hostess Baseball Cards

I picked up a nice 76 and 79 set a few weeks ago. I have cut a few to get a feel for the grading. My grades have resulted in. 8s, 9s, and 10s.

That's very cool. So when you cut them, do you cut exactly on the dotted line (thus leaving a slight line residual), outside the line, or inside the line? I've seen all forms of cutting these cards, and when I used to trade with friends in the 1970s, I was pretty picky about how the cards were cut out, as I did not want ragged edge cards, etc.

I've been researching old issues of The Trader Speaks for my next book project and found this interesting article form the July 1975 issue. It is a neat read and has some some insights on distribution/alternate products:
