For the last year I’ve been patching a Credentials set together and I get quite a few N6 results from PSA and I’m wondering if anyone knows the cutoff for N6 at PSA. Seems like most cards are 89cm x 63cm with most just under or over those dimensions but I don’t know if those are the magic numbers or not.

Anyone know the real numbers?

never have seen cards of this size. Are you sure it's 89cm x 63 cm?

I think the N6 comes from so many of the credentials being miscut. They are notorious for having diagonal cuts

That's unfortunate. You mean 89mm x 63mm, correct? Not cm? That's one of my fears of putting a set together from ungraded cards, and sending them in for grading. I'm hesitant because I don't want to risk getting a min sized/altered/trimmed result when I send them in. Another one of those instances where buying graded vs raw is definitely a better choice. Some cards are just so rare though that the only way you'll get them is picking them up raw.

Question for you, are any of your Credentials pack-pulled, and you're getting a min sized back from a submission? Pack-pulled by you I mean? That would be heart breaking!

Was thinking the same

Amazing set but was cut terribly

Will PSA slab the card with an no grade and just an authentic designation if you ask them? I am assuming you have just been getting the cards back in Card Savers.

I think miscut is N8. N6 is size.

I think both N6 and N8 are eligible for "authentic" grade if the submitter asked for it on the submission form.

Correct. And the experienced graders will still grade them miscut, the newbies will reject them. I've graded a lot of them.

There are certain sets that newer graders shouldn’t even be looking at.

This is one of them.
