On the Roosevelt auto for example, are the ends actually cut off or are they hidden under that fancy matte? Also, has anyone torn one of those cards apart to see how the auto is mounted? Are they taped or glued,or just there, held in tight by the pressure of the cardboard front and backs?

Just because some card company created a totally phony shortage by labeling the "thing" 1/1? Is that worth the premium that sellers try to sell it for. This is just the greater fool theory at its finest example.

Autographs? ZERO intrinsic value. Trading cards? ZERO intrinsic value. The value of these things is socially constructed, and it happens to be multiplied at their intersection. Greater fool theory? Lots of people think we members of this board are all fools for putting values on slips of paper that used to go in the trash. If people approached these things rationally, there would be no autograph dealers at all.

Their products have become so non-compelling that even in despite of the lack of any meaningful competition they still have to have these "gimmick" cards to sell it. IMO

It's actually come full circle in a way: Originally, kids bought packs to get the bubble gum, and would flip, thumbtack, or subject to their spokes the rest of the cards in the pack. Now, they buy packs for the insert, and still could pretty much care less about the base cards in the pack. It's just that now, the "inserts" are slightly less edible
