Blambro has some incredible sets -- his '68 set is incredible...part of it registered here and part on the PSA registry....and not a card below 9/96. I have never seen him post here...or across the street. I just checled the user list and there is a blambro registered, but he/she has 0 posts.

Estang,
that card has all the characteristics of a sheet-cut card which Beckett grades but PSA and SGC don't. Recently dealers have been buying uncut sheets of cards, especially from the topps vault auctions on ebay and cutting them up. PSA usually catches them and SGC doesn't grade them either I believe. Beckett of course will grade about anything, so they do. Classic characteristics of a recently sheet cut card are nice edges, corners and centering and a bad surface. This carew fits the bill perfectly.
If you don't mind recently cut cards vs those cut the year they were manufactured, then bid away. But most collectors seem to see these as illegitimate (sp?).

Aconte...although the sub-grades should be warning signs of a sheet-cut card, it is not necessarily the case each and every time. A microscope and the ability to view the card in person is probably the only way to get a true indication. What would be of a great help is policy. As long as BVG is going to grade cut-sheet cards, I will not buy any BVG card that I think may be in this category.
If you also consider that the 75s were condition-sensitive as far as centering is concerned and this card seems to be perfectly centered...yes it is most-likely a sheet-cut card.

erik,
the best signs of a sheet cut card is that the borders will not have little tiny fibers almost looks like hair on the borders. you usually can see this under 10x magnification. i also love the phantom surface grade which i usually stay away from!
i have 79 o pee chee gerry cheevers that is sheet cut bgs 9 and i love it. if you love it then thats all that matters.
