Not too many cards you can look at and just know they are in immaculate shape, that card is a beauty.

Um, fellas? The buyer has zero feedback. I'll believe this transaction actually took place when the seller leaves him positive feedback.

those card were notorious for the printing spots. That one looks clean all the way around. I knew the sale was BS but that card is one of the nicest I ever saw.

How does one tell a sheet cut from an original besides the edges.

For OPC's it's easy. Just look for razor sharp edges. Everything OPC ever produced was rough cut to some extent

For this card, it's obvious. BGS is notorious for grading sheet cut cards because they allow for a 1/16th inch size variance. Plus they make no distinction of where a card came from (pack vs vending vs sheet) as long as its authentic. PSA will not grade cards they know are sheet cut. BGS doesn't care

99% of vintage collectors find sheet cut cards worthless, myself included. They see them in the same light as trimmed cards

The odds that this came out of a factory set are somewhere around one in a million

To my knowledge when the egdes are razor like that it could be a sheet cut but outside of the edges I was not sure. Thanks for the info you provided. Are sheets relatively abundant?
