The grading thing is a joke, obviously, but there are many who do collect clippings. Not so much in baseball but definitely in sports where there are relatively few cards during certain eras, like boxing, and also among nonsports paper collectors. There are even dealers at vintage paper fairs who have entire inventories of them. I don't have a problem with eBay creating a paper cutouts section; as I recall that is something that some people here have been advocating for years as a means of getting them out of the baseball card section. And to be fair, if you put it in the cutout section and someone thinks it is a baseball card, they are just being ignorant/greedy.
