I am mainly a set builder, but do have two player collections. Cut auto cards annoy me, particularly from unlicensed companies, like Tristar. But there is an issue called Historic Autographs that absolutely infuriates me. Here are images of the one HA I bought.
Two things to note:
- The flip indicates it is a 20/20, but this serial designation does not appear on the item at all. Which means it was slabbed right off the production line.
- It isn't even a card. If you look at the upper corners you will see that it is an envelope the cut signature was inserted into.
I get that cutting up a Paul Blair item isn't the same level of egregious as some of the examples up thread. But this came from a set issue that included Lou Gehrig and Joe DiMaggio. When I saw this abomination, I went to my player collection want lists and purged all cut auto cards permanently. I am quite sure no one will notice, but I refuse to participate in such nonsense.
