SGC grading questionable material??

My understanding -- please correct me if I am wrong -- is that SGC does grade authorized cards that were meant to be cut out such as 1920's strip cards (and other "W" cards), Sports Illustrated for Kids cards like that overpriced Tiger Woods 'rookie', and the dell cards that came in albums that were meant to be cut out in that they were preforated or at least had dotted lines separating the cards from one another.

While these "dell cards" may be superfiscially similar to what NASA/AAA encapsulate, I think that after you give it some thought you will see that this is a far cry from what AAA/NASA does grading pictures cut out of publications that were not intended to be cards (I also note that these photos were never authorized by the subjects to be cards but are rather simply photos or other images used for journalistic purposes).
