Wondering if anyone else has a 2013 Topps Finest Superfractor that can check theirs...

I just got the Superfractor of Starlin Castro in the mail today. I went to put it in a one touch magnetic holder, and noticed the card does not fit into it... I thought maybe it was a bad one touch, so I tried another and same thing happened. I took a orange refractor of the 2013 finest card and placed that in the same one touch, and it fit just fine.

The card fits on the right side, however either the top of the bottom of the left side of the card always hangs over the edge. The card cannot be displayed in a one touch as a result.

So does anyone else have a base superfractor that wants to give it a whirl and see if theirs are miscut as well?

Not a big deal to me, just found it interesting!

Did you buy one of those "test proof" superfractors? Those are hand-cut, and often times miscut.

No mine is stamped 1/1, this is a legit superfractor

On a side note, when viewing the orange refractor in the one touch, the top of the card appears to slope down from the left. Could be a bad cut job all around on this product.

I had the same problem with 2012 triple threads on a George Bell 1/1 and a Ricky Romero White Whale. I can understand it with a printing plate with the extra material maybe but both cards?
The card does not fit in the recessed space where the card normally goes though and so I end up having to use toploaders instead. It isn't a problem of thickness but that the card is too wide or too tall. I don't think I ever got an answer as to what the deal is either and figured someone else out there would've had the same problem. I can't be the only person who wanted to put my 1/1s from Triple Threads in a One Touch but never heard anyone else with that issue. Getting lucky enough to pull 2 in one case was crazy and I'm not gonna complain if they ended up being cut a little off since they're staying in my PC anyway.
