I contacted an auction house not long ago about this same thing. They had tons of cuts from the same paper source. It was lined paper with a red line and it was pretty easy to tell it was the same. They had Cobb, Speaker, Ruth, Wagner, and many more. I asked them if they really think that someone got all of these on a single paper and then cut it all up and also they do not care what it brings when it sells. The cuts sold for almost nothing at all.
