So all stamps should be graded A unless the entire sheet is sent in for grading? That makes no sense.

If you are that concerned about the cards� original form, you should be tearing a page out and having the TPG put that in a holder.

Part of the problem is that so many TPG guidelines were established way after the cards creation. What about Bazookas cut from boxes and the dotted line syndrome. Don't most people cut on the dotted line? Wouldn't the perfect cut show half the line? Nope, you get penalized for being logical.

I call PSA every morning before I touch my cards.

Now that's what I call a Golden Press.

Stuff like the Topps stamps? Yep, if it's not the issued panel, it's no better than altered.

The ones issued in books should be collected in the books.

To me saying one thing is trimmed if a bit is cut off, but another - say a milk duds card or a Hostess card, or a strip card- is fine if it's missing the box or the rest of the panel, is just strange.

There are some interesting guidelines for grading hand cut and perforated cards. Personally, as long as there is transparency (correct info too) on the flip, then I don't care what the TPG's do. So for the ones in the original question, as long as they have "single card" or something like that on the flip, I would have no problem grading it.
In other instances, if it is a panel, just state panel on the flip, grade it, and move on. Oh yeah, if cards weren't issued as strips, and aren't hand cut, they shouldn't be labeled as hand cut strip cards.

I always liked this set. I might just find a book.
