Someone should buy it and send it in to a TPG. Would be funny to see how they respond.

Wasn't there someone in the forums a while ago, that said his collection consisted of pictures of cards cut out from catalogs?

Yeah, I found it.

Default PSA vs SGC

On these cut-outs, which company do you think will hold better investment value, PSA or SGC? I want to make sure I buy the right one since you can't crack them out...

Take Care,
Geno

Thanks for posting that Anthony. Another 9 1/2 minutes of my life gone and well worth it. I love Judge Judy.

All joking aside, this is a disturbing and disgusting ebay listing.

Why is this disgusting and disturbing?

Really? Not sure I follow you here. I mean, isn't the seller just selling picture cutouts of the cards? It's not like he's trying to rip off anyone...they know what they are getting and it's $2!

If you think this is disturbing, you should really browse Ebay...you'll come across a lot worse things than this.

Yeah. I may have jumped the gun thinking it was an auction with a lame description. I didn't realize it was a $2.00 Buy It Now (which is still too much, in my opinion) with a lame description.

Just watched the Judge Judy clip that Anthony posted. Made my blood boil.

That woman still thinks she did no wrong.

Default cutouts

The seller ended the auction early. He must've received an offer off of Ebay that he couldn't refuse

He does have a nice lot of Ben McDonald rookie cards that seem to be original. There have been quite a few fake Ben McDonald rookie cards showing up on ebay lately. Buyers beware!
