I was referring to a card cut from a sheet outside the factory, as what I think you're referring to with the Bird Magic card.

I've never cut a sheet. But if the same tools and methods are employed in someone's basement as they use at the factory, how is any grading company supposed to distinguish between a sheet cut card and a factory cut card if you can't tell the difference (ie the grain of the cut)?

You can't tell the difference of time "when" a card is hand cut. Ask a grader.

PSA apparently can, and I presume SGC, because according to my information the sheet cutters all use Beckett.

I have a card SGC refused to grade because they said it was cut off a sheet/strip.
