Default What's the deal with paper cut-outs for sale?

Posted By: Gary B.

In searching for pre-war cards on ebay, I come across a lot of paper cut-outs from Spalding, Reach, Whitman, etc. with off-center text on the back that are graded and sell for what to me seems like outrageous amounts of money? What's the deal with these? It seems many grading companies (psa at least) won't touch these. What's the appeal of these? They're not even cards. Do people really want magazine or newspaper cut-outs of old baseball players for $50 or $100 or more? As far as I'm concerned, they're just more items I have to sort through (including the annoying reprints) to look for the good stuff. I don't get it...
