Advice on Hostess PSA Grading

[SyrNy1960]

I’m no expert on the subject, but I like that look, better than cutting to close to the black dotted lines. Looks awesome!

Usually if they're cut like what you show, they get PSA 5s because they're not attractive. Definitely cut them straight right outside the top of the border. I actually got a 9 on a Panel a few years ago by doing that, and I just used regular craft scissors.

Thanks. These are definitely outside my wheelhouse, at least as far as grading goes. As far as eating Hostess, and getting these cards, as a kid, now that's a different story!

That cut looks much nicer to me. I'd be happy with that card and that cut.

Good luck.

Agree with what John said. Nice card.

Since the top and bottom of the right side have 'bat ears,' I would definitely straight edge/X-Acto knife it and straighten that side up to make it even more gorgeouser, eye appeal wise. Very cool career capper card!!!!!!

Beautiful card. Cut OUTSIDE the borders which to me makes the card even better. Near mint. Of course I doubt the graders see it that way. Post and Jell-o cards have the same "problem".
