Not the first one we have seen like this. This is a shame.

I don’t collect cards like this, but it is a complete shame. Any hypothesis as to why they would do that? Some sort of copyrighted logo he started the wig on that they couldn’t show or something?

Its probably something simple like the whole sig wouldn't fit into the little box.

The sick part is that this is probably 2-4x the price of a nice postcard of Tris.

Yep. And as long as fools continue to buy these ridiculous manufactured 1 of 1 cards, people will continue to butcher autographs for the frame.

That would be awful, as that’s just a company being lazy. Make the card bigger! Get a different sig! Jeez....

I like to believe the original item may have been damaged and the good part was cut out. Probably not the case but it makes me feel better whenever I see something like this.

Some more modern gems. All can be found for many times the price of the original whole piece.

Listed for nearly $1500 on eBay. I bought a Speaker signature on an 10×12 photo from Lelands for $500.
