Vintage card issues that were cut down was something that leveled the playing field for me back in the day, as they were in general something that wasn't viewed as highly as machine cut cards (T206, E90-1, E121, 1933 Goudey etc.), and thus cost a fair amount less, but still were very captivating in my eyes. Here is one of my all-time favorites, an E-UNC Orange Border Lajoie card that was cut from a candy box. Someone put a staple into it, and alas those two little, almost unnoticeable holes also helped it land into my collection.
