Default An awful "Obak" card

Take a look at this weird card:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2011-TRISTAR...-/261299592445.

They cut a card in half and slabbed it with an Obak label. Does anybody else think this is awful?

Worst. Trimming. Ever.

Keeping the card intact and stamping it somehow (think Topps Heritage Buyback cards) would sure look quite a bit better, IMO.

I agree...this is awful. Not a reflection on the seller, of course.

Default Wtf?

What kind of monstrosity is that? The old lefthander got sliced in pieces as he was rounding third, heading home.

I guess I would rather that they chop up a 60's Topps card than a vintage bat or jersey. I don't understand who is buying the "pieces of the game" stuff.

Default Odd card

It's odd to see a card where they've chopped off his face.

This has sort of thing has been happening for a while now. It's their version of a "cut signature"...and I have to agree that it looks tacky and unattractive.
