Why respond with that answer without explaining why you think it's sheet cut? Why declare that it is, and provide zero evidence?

At least three of the sides don't look like anything that came out of packs in 1975. They have a distinct "paper cutter" look, although a different instrument may have been used. The angle of the cut is completely wrong. Even vending doesn't look like that.

Thanks for the rationale.

Michael -- is this common in your experience with Beckett-graded cards? I have heard rumors that they have graded lots of sheet-cut cards, whether knowingly or not.

Exactly what Brian said and in my experiences yes I have seen many sheet cut or outright trimmed cards in bvg holders. A higher percentage than the percentage of osa and sgc cards that I have seen in holders. There was a time it was a crazy amount this has gotten better but in no way do I trust them catching trimmed cards.
