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

Posted By: Aaron M.

This is one of the various scams on E-Bay. A novice (or just plain dumb) collector sees these and thinks that they are cards, exhibits, premiums, whatever, but not a piece of paper cut out of the magazine. The dealer (I think it's just one guy operating out of Hawaii with three different user names) even created his own "grading service" to help fool the novice (he basically just puts the cut-outs in a plastic card case you can buy at your local card store for an hour and then smacks a sticker on it--he even assigns it a "card number" which is really just the page number it was cut out from).

These are, of course, worthless.
