What Maniac and Irv said.
With edges etc, it's more about them being "as manufactured" OPC just didn't do smooth cuts. That's as much a product of the cardstock used as it is the slitter knives. To not accept that rough factory edge would be odd. Sort of like downgrading a 51 Topps for having round corners and perforations. Now if the typical factory edge was perfect, then a rough one could be seen as a manufacturing flaw and graded lower. |

as always, I appreciate all the comments. I had not been thinking in terms of accepted factory pre-conditions with the o-pee-chee cards. And it explains a lot of the variability I am seeing with the cards and their respective gradings
and in answer to one of the posts...I do like the cards with the imperfections and all...I just wanted to make sure that if I decided to pay a premium for a graded one, I should better understand the dynamic. I had already become more comfortable with paste on the back of venezuelans and staining on same candy issues....now I understand o-pee chee better |
