Default O/T but what about the ending price?

Not defending Topps on this subject, but alot of documents have very little historic value with sigs of famous people. The value of the auto far out weighs the document itself. Washington talking about cleaning up trash on his farm or putting a bill in place banning smoking near a church are not thought of as important documents. There was a time before Topps that a Washington document was sold line for line, (cut up), sometime in the 19th century or early 20th century. There are pages of that document that are missing that would bring huge money today. So the practice of cutting up documents is far from modern. I don't like it, but wouldn't mind owning his sig.

In Rememberance of James W. Brennan Sr. 1924-1982. Dad, thanks for everything you did for me.
