Same with cards that have a coupon clipped off. Those are "altered" and should be flipped as "A". What happens then is that all Zeenuts (for example) with the coupon clipped would be "A" graded. That's a very wide aesthetic window of condition, however that's when common sense and actual eye appeal comes into play. If it's a total beater, then that would be very obvious when compared to an "A" card with great eye appeal. Isn't that the way things used to be before all the plastic slabs came about?

yes...I agree. All strip cards should be graded A.

I also agree, but perhaps there should be a "A+" grade for good lookin', nicely cut full-size cards. The type of grades that boosts the GPA for students looking to get into more prestigious universities.

When a strip card looks this good there is no reason it shouldn’t have a grade IMHO.

Given what's known (some) and unknown (a lot) for strip cards, it'd be great to know that grading companies were willing to either push ahead with new research or pick up what's been published elsewhere. Odd to still be using info on flips that is now 2-3 decades old, whether or not they add a number. :-)

I've been dinged with AUTH from PSA for having too much border on a hand cut card before...that's always been interesting.

Here's a recent submission with what I thought might be too little border.

I was hoping for a 1, wouldn't have been shocked at AUTH, and ended up getting a 1.5.

Also, PSA treats these as hand cut whether one believes they were a hand cut set or not. Also also, PSA doesn't note the incorrect spelling of Roger(s) on the bottom of the flip like they generally do on other cards...probably because they're using the bottom line of the flip for other info.
