O/T Can a Serious Miscut Add Value to a Card?
 

Posted By: <b>Matt E.</b><p>Recently on the board there was a post of a tobacco card that was so miscut it was pretty cool. Thought I would post this image of a miscut card along with the one that followed it on the sheet. Am I mistaken or is it unusual to see the two parts together. Too bad I couldn't find the one above Mickey. Makes me dizzy looking at them.<br /><br />Leon, please delete if too OT and I will move it to the appropriate area.<br /><br />Thanks, Matt<br /> <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/7243/scan0002xu5.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a> <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/707/scan0003qv5.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a>

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Matt- I assume you found these at the same time. I would guess that a miscut like this would add value to a common, but detract from a Mickey Mantle.

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>I'd be tempted to get those to someone who could cut that Mantle part off of Ashburn, and see about making you a whole card, there. Then take the offending top bit off of Mantle, and patch that onto Ashburn, albeit mismatched.<br /><br />I'm not saying to sell the results as unaltered. But realistically you have an entire Mantle card, he's just it 2 pieces.

Posted By: <b>E, Daniel</b><p>Matt, I think those are awesome (such a ninety's word).<br />Should one assume they came in a pack together and have been kept by the same owner all this time.......because now THAT'S a collector.<br />Brilliant!<br /><br /><br />Daniel
