Shame on a grading service (assuming they have any shame) for actually slabbing a cutout from a newspaper. I don't care what the label reads or how much transparency there is, it still sucks.

Oh wait, there was a ten dollar bill in it for them. Now I see why they did it.
Is it that much different from the Oklahoma Today Mantle which is a cutout from a magazine page?
