Default 1943 M.P. & Co. cards

Posted By: SteveD1124

Hello, everyone! I'm new here, having received the link from a fellow collector.

I was wondering if anyone has had much experience with those cartoon-like 1943 M.P. & Co. series. My specific question concerns a card that was apparently slightly mis-cut (they are a hand-cut set): there is slight part of another card below the line on the bottom of this particular card. This, i feel probably resulted in the card receiving a low grade (PSA 2). Other features about the card look good, with some normal wear on the corners. Do you think it would be worth the risk of cracking the card out of the holder, and trying to re-cut it, closer to the line--or would this jeopardize making the card fall out of the size requirements? (thus causing the possible "Authentic" rating, or maybe even risking a "trimmed" notation, and not being graded at all?). I would guess that the "excess" below the line is no more than 1/32". The other borders look okay. I know PSA can be sticky on those borders (at least on the more "modern" hand-cut cards, like Bazookas, and Post Cereal, etc.), but was wondering if they tend to be more lenient on these old WW II issues? Do you think it's best to just leave "well enough alone" and be satisfied with the '2' the card currently has?

I have a set of these. They very rarely sell for a lot of money - the most I paid for any card was $25 for the DiMaggio. I don't think it would be worth it to crack out and re-cut unless you're talking about the DiMag, Williams, or maybe Greenberg.

If you like the way it looks in the holder, why not keep it there?

I love this set because of all the back variations. I documented some of them at http://members.aol.com/typecard/r302.html

Steve,

I've always been interested in this set because of it's unique printing during WW II. I've dedicated a page to the issue on my website:

I have a Foxx, that is graded a 92 by SGC. #1050769.001. The back is different than any of the four examples. Because of my inability to scan into the forum, I cannot show it. This has hamperd me ever since I discoverd this site. Bummer...The back shows only his team, the Cubs, no position, under his name on the back. And the bottom line under the Bio of him is also a bit different. I collect Foxx, and this card certainly has a charm all it's own.

Thanks for your replies! This set must really be gaining in popularity. Al, you mention not paying over $25. for any of these, including the DiMaggio--i'm seeing those selling for as much as $275. on eBay now!!

I have an intact 8-card strip of these cards to show you. I had
to split-scan this strip to completely display it.
