Default 1941 Double Play-80 Year Old Problem SOLVED

Whats the 80 year old problem? Kids and scissors! But I think I've discovered a way to display my "combination" set of cut and uncut cards.

At the conclusion of Birmingham Auctioneers latest offering, I was the "lucky" winner of the lot of 66 '41 Double Play cards, all cut in half. After purchase price, buyers premium, shipping and insurance, I paid $3.86 per card. Remember the Standard Catalog states "Cards which have been cut in half to form single cards have little collector value".

I may have solved the 80 year old problem of how to display the cards, using TCVerify "Mylar Sleeves". The cards display beautifully, and the cut cards don't appear to move around at all!

About the only problem I'm having is deciding which number 31/32 Ott/Young to keep? The ink stained intact card or the beautiful cut in half example?
