I've seen your collection on Instagram. Very impressive and I really respect how you arrived at your focus!

In most cases, I keep them intact, but I will admit to cutting them occasionally, particularly when I can frame the signature with the postmark in one of my "Signature Collection" customs. Here are a couple of examples (the Oldring comes from the Sklar collection):
Below is a fair representation of my "uncut" GPCs signed by T206 subjects, including a Rucker and Snodgrass from the Sklar collection. And Mordecai Brown and James Scott from the Walter/Peggy Danahy collection, which is also a prolific collection in the world of GPCs signed by T206 players.
I'm always on the look out for T206 player autographs on GPCs or otherwise!
