They should all just grade "AUTH" regardless of how they are cut. Let the collector decide how nice it is (or isn't). Don't give these idiot TPGs the unwarranted power to make random knee-jerk decisions that impact YOUR cards.

The current situation is fraught with discrepancies and people who are frothing at the mouth to "beat the system". If it's hand-cut, it should simply grade "authentic".

That's exactly what they do with all B18 Blankets... AUTH is the only grade they get, so why does PSA crap out yet another double-standard?

Don't Get Cheated.

I agree.

I like Wheaties panels. But I know most of the graded Wheaties panels have been trimmed. Those borders are way too neat and crisp to be cut in the 1930s. It's even worse when the panels are missing the border. Here's an example of a Lou Gehrig. I wonder if it would get trimmed. Regardless of the big tear on the right, look at the cut line around the orange band along the edge. That's what a kids cut job should look like!
