Net 54's Definition of Card
Posted By: peter chao
Why wait for the grading companies or the auction houses to define what a card is? Why don't we define it? David C. brought up a very good point. A card has to be distributed to the public, it could also be distributed regionally. If it was never even distributed regionally there's no collectibility to it. You could simply take a photograph and call it a card. |

What do you mean when you refer to studio cabinets? That term is very broad. Certain types did have public distribution (e.g., N173s), but many did not. There are no shortage of player studio cabinets that are believed to have been distributed to only the player or his designees. Those kind of studio cabinets would not then have had a public distribution and therefore should not, based on your definition, be called cards. |

What constitutes "distribution of a card"? For example a Darby box which contains the image of a player is not actually a card until the player portion is disconnected from the box. The same with w555, Wheaties, Hostess and any other cut out. But does this "any other cut out" include notebook covers, advertising displays, albums, etc.? |

If the manufacturer intends the collectible as a card to be cut out then it should be a card. This is true irregardless of whether it is cut from the box or not. A player pictured on a wheaties box normally is not intended to be cut out is not a card when it is cut out. People normally collect the entire box. |

So then Type 2 e107s are not cards because (it is believed) they were either cut out of a box or an advertising display (which presumably was not intended to be cut up)? |

Like obscenity, I know a card when I see it. It is impossible to define and in my opinion futile. |

It should be the intent of the cutter, not the manufacturer, on which items are cards. Afterall the cutter is the collector (who decides on acceptance of an item as a collectible). The manufacturer proposes that an item be accepted as a collectible. |

And so if a huge poster is considered a card by some people that means that the huge poster card is worth more. And that is bad. |

It depends on what the meaning of "is" is. |
